BJP looks even stronger for the 2019 general elections. The Congress under VP Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi has further gone down in popularity. That is what the exit polls predict. On 11nth there could be changes in the exit poll predictions also.
As of now it looks more or less that the BJP will lead in UP, but what happens if Mayawathi joins Akhilesh is the big question. When it comes to Punjab AAP is almost close to the power and we can call it as Delhi part -2. At Goa the BJP is almost close to power and Union Minister Parrikar might return to Goa as chief Minister and carry on with the food he likes.
One can call this election for the 5 states as poll of polls and a clear indicator for the next Government at the centre. The people have voted for Modi and for the note ban. But the BJP which was doing well in all the four states has been wiped out in Punjab and it’s a new beginning for AAP in Punjab.
Uttarakhand will be taken by BJP according to the exit polls. Manipur is going to BJP in one poll and to the Congress in the other poll. The general thinking was that the note ban would boomerang on Modi and BJP but the people accepted it with all liking. It looks like the family bickering has made all the difference to Akhilesh.
The real results to be out on 11nth might change the fortunes of the political parties and leaders, but it is proved beyond doubt that Modi is here to stay and will come back in 2019.
