Defying all exit polls, the BJP on Tuesday registered a hat-trick victory in the Haryana Assembly election, inflicting a big jolt to the Congress, which had overestimated its performance and prematurely thought it was time to celebrate.
The exit poll, conducted by Ipsos for BBC, ITV, and Sky, predicted Labour would capture 410 seats, relegating the Conservatives to a mere 131 seats.
But before that, several agencies have come out with the results of the exit polls that give an overview of the number of seats the three major parties, namely the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Congress are likely to win.
Going by the post-polling surveys, the Congress and the BJP are locked in a tight contest. If the exit poll holds true, JD(S) support will be required to reach the halfway mark.
