New Delhi: When poll agencies are debating the outcome of UP Assembly elections, Axis My India has projected a clear and decisive mandate for the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in the state.

Putting speculations to rest, the agency in its exit poll has projected the BJP to return to power with a bang. According to India Today-Axis My India Exit poll, the BJP is likely to fetch anywhere between 288-326 seats in the 403 member Assembly.

It may be noted that Axis My India has been most reliable pollster in last few years. Though, data & numbers are subject to scrutiny, its findings have been most accurate as compared to other agencies.

Samajwadi Party & its allies are projected to win 71-101 seats while BSP is seen getting around 3-9 seats. Congress is seen getting 1-3 seats while others will have to settle with just 2-3 seats, says the exit poll agency.

In the 2017 elections, the BJP won a thumping majority and grabbed three-fourth quarters majority of 325 seats. BJP had won 312 seats while its allies including Apna Dal and SBSP won 9 and 4 seats respectively.

SP suffered a humiliating defeat and was reduced to below 50 mark while Congress & BSP had to console themselves with 7 and 18 seats respectively.
