According to the poll, the BJP stands at 41 percent, one percent more than 40 percent vote share of the Congress, leaving Others with 19 percent..

The state with 230 seats goes for voting on Wednesday, 28 November, out of which the BJP stands at 116 seats, the Congress at 105 and Others round up at nine. By this calculation, the BJP faces a drop of 49 seats from the 2013 Assembly elections where it secured 165 seats.
