Who Will Win and Who Will Lose?
The stage is set for counting of votes on Saturday to wrap up a staggered poll process in five states – the biggest electoral contest ahead of the 2019 general elections – in what is largely seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s demonetisation move.
According to the Election Commission of India, the early trends will start pouring in from 8 am for all the five states – Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa – where thousands of central forces have been deployed at vote counting centres.
Here’s a quick recap of how each of the five states performed in the exit polls on Thursday.
