Notably, BJP has projected Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami as its face in the Uttarakhand election.
Congress is fighting the election under the leadership of veteran leader Harish Rawat. Rawat is also the former Chief Minister of the state.
AAP may emerge as a kingmaker if BJP and Congress don’t get a clear majority in the poll.
BJP to get more seats than Cong
BJP under the leadership of Pushkar Singh Dhami is likely to get between 31-37 seats out of the total 70 seats. The poll has projected that Congress will win just a seat less than BJP. Congress may get nearly 30-36 seats.
AAP, which is making its debut in Uttarakhand, could expect between 2 to 4 seats.
