Exit polls:

Most of the exit polls have predicted the ruling BJP to storm back to power for a second consecutive term in Uttar Pradesh, with the party and its allies expected to get anywhere between 211 and 326 seats. In Punjab, Arvind Kejriwal's AAP is headed for a big win, according to the exit polls. The exit polls also predict the ruling Congress will finish a distant second in the state. Goa could be headed for a hung Assembly. Uttarakhand, on the other hand, is expected to see a close fight between the ruling BJP and the Congress. In Manipur, the exit polls gave a clear edge to the ruling BJP in forming the next government, even as many predicted the party to fall short of the halfway mark.
