NEW DELHI: Exit polls on two television news channels on Tuesday night predicted majority for Akali Dal-BJP combine in the Punjab Assembly polls.
The survey conducted by AC Nielson for Star News gave 60 seats to BJP-SAD (Badal) combine, 48 to the Congress and 7 to other parties/Independent candidates out of 115 constituencies that went to poll out of a total 117. NDTV 24x7 came out with almost similar projections giving between 55-65 seats to Akali Dal-BJP combine and between 45-55 to Congress.
On the vote share, Star News survey puts the Congress quite behind Akali Dal-BJP combine with 37% and 41%, respectively. Other parties/Independent candidates are predicted to pull as much as 22% of the voters. Close to 13,000 people were questioned across 50 constituencies in the state during the survey, the Star News said.
