BJP To Win Big In Tripura, Nagaland, Show Exit Polls
NDTV
The BJP will easily gain majority in Tripura and its alliance government will come to power in Nagaland, exit polls have predicted. The race for Meghalaya will be tight, with Conrad Sangma's NPP (National People's Party) likely to emerge as the single largest party.
An aggregate of two exit polls indicate that the BJP may get 35 seats -- a shade above the majority mark of 31 in the 60-seat assembly. The Left, which ruled the state for more than 30 years, is likely to get only 12 seats -- the Congress, with which it tied up, unlikely to add anything to the tally.
Tipra Motha, the new party floated by erstwhile royal Pradyot Kishore Debbarma -- entered the political pitch with the core demand of Greater Tipraland -- is likley to bag 12 seats.
Exit polls, though, can often get it wrong.
