Voting has been completed on 288 assembly seats of Maharashtra. Now all the parties are waiting for 23rd November when the Election Commission of India will declare the results. Exit polls regarding Maharashtra elections have also started coming 72 hours ago on Wednesday evening. The exit poll of Chanakya Strategies has once again predicted the formation of a Mahayuti government. That means, according to this exit poll, once again a double engine government can be formed here. According to the data given in the exit poll, Mahayuti can get 152 to 160 seats. In this, BJP is expected to get 90 seats, Eknath Shinde (Shiv Sena) will get 48 seats, Ajit Pawar (NCP) will get 22 seats and others will get 2 seats.
According to this exit poll, Mahavikas Aghadi is expected to get 130 to 138 seats. In this, Congress is expected to get 63 seats, Uddhav Thackeray (Shiv Sena) will get 35 seats, NCP (Sharad Pawar) will get 40 seats. At the same time, it is estimated that 6 to 8 seats will go to the account of others.
Let us tell you that this is an exit poll. This is just an estimate on the basis of which it is possible that the results may be like this. But, this does not mean that exit polls are the results.
The thing to note is that after the exit polls, there is happiness among the parties involved in the grand alliance. At the same time, Mahavikas Aghadi will wait for 23rd November when the Election Commission will announce the results.
However, it is also important to understand that exit polls have been proved wrong in recent elections. Lok Sabha elections 2024 is a perfect example of this. During the Lok Sabha elections, on one hand, in all the exit polls, BJP was expected to get more than 400 seats. But, when the results were declared, BJP could not even cross the 300 mark. Something similar was seen during the Haryana Assembly elections also. Here the exit polls showed Congress forming the government. But, when the results were declared, the BJP government was formed.
