Exit Poll Projections for 2023 Assembly Elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, and Mizoram
Exit poll results for Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram are eagerly awaited. While Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Mizoram cast their votes earlier in the month, Telangana’s polling concluded today at 5:30 pm.
Among these states, the BJP currently holds power in Madhya Pradesh, Congress governs Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, KCR’s BRS leads in Telangana, and Zoramthanga’s Mizo National Front prevails in Mizoram.
The electoral landscape features a direct face-off between the BJP and Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. In Telangana, power contention lies between Congress and BRS, while Mizoram witnesses competition among Zoramthanga’s MNF, Congress, and the regional party Zoram People’s Movement.
The suspense will unravel on December 3, Sunday, with the much-anticipated counting of votes across these states.
Madhya Pradesh:
India Today-Axis My India, in its recent prediction, has forecasted that Congress is likely to secure 96 out of the 199 seats in Rajasthan, while the BJP may attain 90 seats. It’s noteworthy that a minimum of 101 seats is required to establish a government in the 200-member House. The BJP might find these projections surprising, given their anticipation of returning to power. The survey indicates a close race, with 42% of the electorate supporting Congress and 41% favouring the BJP. The political landscape appears dynamic and poised for an interesting outcome.
Rajasthan:
P-Marq’s exit poll hints at a decisive victory for the BJP, projecting a majority range of 105-125 seats, while Congress is anticipated to secure 69-91 seats in the state.
Interestingly, Axis My India’s prediction stands in contrast to other polls, suggesting the likelihood of a hung assembly in Rajasthan. According to this forecast, Congress is poised to become the single largest party with 96 seats, closely followed by the BJP with 90 seats. The remaining 13 seats held by other parties could play a pivotal role in shaping the political landscape going forward.
These varied predictions paint a picture of uncertainty, hinting that Rajasthan might be on the brink of a hung assembly, making the political scenario all the more intriguing.
Telangana:
Despite exit polls forecasting a majority for Congress in Telangana, KTR, Chief Minister KCR’s son, has adamantly dismissed these projections. He confidently asserted that his party is poised to reclaim power in the state with an impressive tally of over 70 seats. Notably, polling agencies CNX, Matrize, and Chanakya have all foreseen a Congress majority, estimating 60-plus seats in the 117-member House. The political landscape in Telangana seems to be shrouded in uncertainty, with contrasting narratives emerging from party leaders and poll predictions.
Chhattisgarh:
India Today-Axis My India’s recent prediction suggests that the Congress is poised to make a comeback in Chhattisgarh. According to exit polls, the Congress is expected to secure 40-50 out of 90 seats, while the BJP may attain 36-46 seats, and the BSP may clinch 2 seats. However, these projections fall short of the grand old party’s expectations, as they were aspiring for a tally of over 50 seats. If these numbers hold true, it would mark a setback for the Congress in their quest for a more robust electoral performance. The political landscape in Chhattisgarh appears dynamic and full of surprises.
Mizoram:
In a surprising turn of events, India Today-Axis My India predicts a sweeping triumph for the regional Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) in Mizoram. The projection indicates a substantial seat range of 28 to 35 out of 40 seats for ZPM. In contrast, the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF), led by Chief Minister Zoramthanga, is anticipated to secure just 3-7 seats, experiencing a significant drop from the 26 seats it held in 2018. The BJP is expected to win 0-2 seats, while Congress may secure 2-4 seats in this northeastern state. This forecast hints at a noteworthy shift in Mizoram’s political landscape, setting the stage for an intriguing outcome.
