00:00As the 2024 Assembly elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir conclude, live exit
00:17poll predictions are generating significant interest.
00:20If we talk about the Haryana exit poll, the voter turnout has been approximately 63%.
00:27These exit polls, including those from Dainik Bhaskar and India Today, suggest that the
00:31Congress party is expected to win between 44-60 seats.
00:36The ruling BGP is projected to secure 19-29 seats.
00:40Talking about the key figures, then we saw Rahul Gandhi had campaigned vigorously for
00:45its party Congress, while the BGP seeks a third consecutive term, hoping to secure support
00:51from independent candidates.
00:56On the other hand, the Jammu and Kashmir exit polls indicate a competitive landscape.
01:01The National Conference, NC, is projected to emerge as the single largest party, potentially
01:06winning 33-35 seats.
01:09The BGP is expected to secure 20-27 seats, with the Congress and NC-led alliance gaining
01:15about 35-40 seats.
01:17If we talk about the vote shares, then in Jammu, the BGP might achieve a 41% vote share,
01:24while the NC-Congress alliance could garner around 36%.
01:28Both Haryana and Jammu-Kashmir's election results will be announced on 8 October.
01:34The exit poll results are expected to provide an early glimpse into the public's sentiments,
01:39but past exit polls have had varying degrees of accuracy.
01:47Ahead of the Jharkhand Assembly elections later this year, the BGP has unveiled its
01:52manifesto, highlighting five key promises under the Panch Pran Initiative today.
01:58The commitments include financial assistance, job creation, housing for all, LPG subsidies,
02:04filing vacancies.
02:06Additionally, the party will release a 150-point manifesto to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary
02:13of tribal leader Birsamunda, reinforcing its commitment to tribal empowerment.
02:19This strategic focus aims to attract voters by addressing key issues and enhancing governance
02:25in Jharkhand.
02:49Ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the
03:19Mahavikas-Agadi MVA collision at a rally in Thane, labelling the Congress party as an
03:26obstruction to development.
03:28He accused the MVA, comprising Congress, Shiv Sena and NCP of being the enemy of development
03:35and highlighted issues like population and traffic problems linked to previous Congress-led
03:41governments.
03:42PM Modi emphasized ongoing infrastructure projects under the BGP, such as a 300-kilometre
03:49metro rail network and the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area, or NANA, project.
03:56He laid foundation stones for the new developments, reinforcing his message of progress amid claims
04:03of corruption and misgovernance associated with the Congress party.
04:18Elections in Maharashtra are expected in just a few days, with the current Assembly term
04:23ending on November 26, 2024.
