After high-octane campaigns and elections in Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana, it’s time for Exit Polls. Four exit polls have given an edge to the Congress in Haryana. The Congress-National Conference alliance is ahead in Jammu and Kashmir but no party has been shown to cross the majority mark, as per three exit polls.

Health Warning: Exit polls are not always accurate.

Jammu and Kashmir is all set to get a new government after the assembly elections for its 90 constituencies held over three phases – September 18, September 25 and October 1 – after a gap of 10 years.

Haryana voted today. A total of 1,031 candidates are contesting in all 90 assembly constituencies, and 20,632 polling booths have been set up for voting. The results for the Haryana Assembly elections will be declared along with those of Jammu and Kashmir on October 8.

The alliance of the Congress and the National Conference (NC) is predicted to win the most seats in Jammu and Kashmir, according to a poll of polls.

Health warning: exit polls often get it wrong.

There are 90 seats in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly, so the halfway mark is 46.

An exit poll by Dainik Bhaskar forecasts the BJP would get 20-25 seats, the Congress and NC combine would win 35-40 seats, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 4-7 seats, and other parties 12-16 seats.

Peoples Pulse’s exit poll predicted 23-27 seats for BJP, 46-50 for Congress-NC alliance, 7-11 for PDP, and 4-6 for other parties.

India Today-C Voter forecast 27-32 for the BJP, Congress and NC 40-48, PDP 6-12, and other parties 6-11 seats.

Statehood has been a major issue in the Jammu and Kashmir election; the BJP has assured statehood would be restored. The Congress and the NC also made the same promise.

A development in the Jammu and Kashmir election was the entry of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami, which backed some candidates, and its strategic alliance with Engineer Rashid’s Awami Ittehad Party.
