Mumbai: Maharashtra Assembly election results will be out on October 19. According to exit polls conducted by several agencies for different news channels, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is way ahead of its rivals in both the states and very close to forming the government on its own.
Maharashtra exit poll figures:
Congress is on a downslide and its 15-year-old reign in the state in alliance with the NCP is coming to an end if the exit poll prediction come true on October 19.
BJP is on a surge and News24-Today's Chanakya exit poll shows the party crossing the half-way mark of 144 easily and reaching 151 seats, Shiv Sena 71, Nationalist Congress Party 28, Congress just 27 and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena 11.
