BJP to secure majority by winning 206-216 seats in UP: Poll
The India Today-Axis Opinion Poll has predicted that the BJP is expected to secure a majority in the 403-member Uttar Pradesh Assembly by winning between 206-216 seats. The poll further claimed that the Samajwadi Party may emerge as the second largest party by bagging between 92-97 seats, followed by BSP with 79-85 seats. The poll gave 5-9 seats to Congress.
Despite the inconvenience faced by citizens after the Prime Minister's surprise announcement on demonetisation, the BJP seems poised to bag the crucial battleground state of Uttar Pradesh.
