UP Election Results: The early trends are expected to emerge within an hour or two.
The exit polls for the just-concluded five state elections - Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand,
Goa,
Punjab and
Manipur - are out. By and large,
an aggregate of the poll of exit polls suggests the BJP - that hopes to ride to power on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity and contested the election without a chief ministerial face - has a clear advantage in
Uttar Pradesh but the numbers fluctuated widely, ranging from a low of 155 to (India TV - C Voter) to a high of 279 (India Today - Axis). If the election results are along these lines, it would indicate that the Samajwadi Party-Congress tie-up that Akhilesh Yadav hoped would help him retain the chief minister's chair, did not work.
But did they get it right?Exit polls, of course, often get it wrong and the actual results will only be known on Saturday, March 11, when votes are counted in Uttarakhand and four other states, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa and Manipur are known.
There is only one way to know the answer: when the Election Commission starts counting the votes in the electronic voting machines - that have been stored away in strong rooms with a double lock - on March 11, beginning from 8 am. The early trends for the Uttar Pradesh Elections are expected to emerge within an hour or two.
