What the exit polls predicted?

Maharashtra: In Maharashtra, exit polls for the 2024 Assembly elections indicate a closely contested battle between the ruling Mahayuti alliance—comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction)—and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which includes Shiv Sena (UBT faction), NCP (Sharad Pawar faction), and Congress. While the contest is tight, the exit polls slightly favor the Mahayuti, projecting a slim majority for the alliance.

In Maharashtra, the primary contest is between the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance and the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

The ruling BJP-led Mahayuti alliance includes the BJP, Shiv Sena, and the Nationalist Congress Party, while the opposition MVA comprises the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction). This election is significant as it is the first assembly poll in the state following the splits in Shiv Sena and NCP.

Jharkhand: Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, most exit polls predict a win for the BJP and its allies in the state assembly elections. However, one exit poll suggests that the alliance led by Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) could secure victory.

The BJP-led alliance includes the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), Janata Dal (United), and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led alliance includes Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist).
