Election trends show the BJP has extended its lead in Uttarakhand with the Congress trailing, as the counting of votes for the state assembly election, held in a single phase on February 14, began at 8 am. The election results will be declared today.
The Uttarakhand assembly election witnessed a three-pronged contest with the ruling BJP, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party vying for power in the 70-seat assembly. A voters' turnout of 65.4 per cent was recorded this year.
A poll of exit polls has predicted a hung house with Congress and BJP in close contest and none crossing the required majority of 36 seats. A latest exit poll predicted a humiliating defeat for the Congress in the state. But exit polls do not always get it right.
