The India Today-Axis My India exit poll is a sweeping statement in favour of the BJP as far as Assembly elections 2017 are concerned. The two-month-long polls that saw five states voting in a pitched battle to reclaim the national narrative have gone dramatically in favour of the saffron party under the steerage of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
Of the five states, the big ones, including Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, as well as Goa, are going to be won by the BJP, with a landslide expected in UP. Punjab and Manipur, however, will be bagged by the Congress. The new entrant AAP, it would seem, has not been able to make much of an impact except in Punjab, where it is a close second.
