Guwahati/ New Delhi: The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is expected to return to power with a thin margin in northeastern state, according to exit poll results.
The Times Now C-Voter survey said the BJP-led NDA is expected to bag between 53 to 66 seats and form a government with just two seats above the halfway mark.
The exit poll said the UPA might get between 58-71 seats.
The exit poll result shows that the tally is far from the 2016 numbers, when the NDA came to power with a thumping majority. It has bagged 86 seats and reduced the Congress-led alliance to just 26 seats.
It said the NDA is expected to get 21 seats lesser than its 2016 tally. The UPA is likely to bag 33 seats which is more than its 2016 tally.
The NDA’s loss will be gain for the UPA in Bodoland, Brack Valley and lower Assam, where the latter may win 6, 9 and 12 seats more respectively than the previous tally. The UPA’s vote share may go significantly up to 48.8 per cent, 17.8 per cent higher than the 2016 polls.
