Survey predicts a hung Assembly in Uttar Pradesh
A survey by the India Today-Axis has predicted a hung Assembly in Uttar Pradesh and has stated that BJP along with its allies would win 180-191 seats in 403-member Assembly. The Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance, which was formed recently, is expected to win up to 168-178 seats. The survey, however, stated that Mayawati-led BSP would manage to bag only 39-43 seats.
The India Today-Axis survey ahead of the crucial Assembly elections in five states predicts a hung Assembly in Uttar Pradesh and a major boost to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab.While the Congress is likely to snatch Punjab from the Akali-Dal-BJP combine, the BJP is likely to trump the Congress to power in Uttarakhand and retain Goa.
