Assembly Elections Results 2023 Reactions HIGHLIGHTS: Hello and welcome to ABP Live on Counting Day of three Northeast states — Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Tripura. Besides these three legislative assemblies, the bypolls results of 5 assembly segments from 4 states are also being declared on March 2.
As the democratic process takes its full course, various political parties have been staking claims of victory. The picture will be crystal clear by evening, which entails that political pundits, leaders and observers will have a comment to give on the outcome of results be it for Nagaland, Tripura, Meghalaya or by-elections seats from West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Maharashtra. Keep following this space to get all the pre and post-counting reactions from the stakeholders and others alike.
Exit polls conducted by various news channels on Monday predicted a hung assembly in the state of Meghalaya, a victory for NDPP in Nagaland backed by the BJP, and a mixed prediction for Tripura, where a new political party, the Tipra Motha, could potentially emerge as a king-maker in the upcoming elections.
In Tripura, India Today-MyAxis's exit polls indicated that the BJP would win between 36-45 seats in the 60-member assembly by garnering 45% of the popular vote, giving them a spectacular win, mostly in the plains where Bengalis reside. The Left-Congress combine is expected to receive a meagre 6-11 seats with only 32% of the popular vote, a significant drop from their 43% vote share in 2018. The newly formed party, Tipra Motha, founded by former royal Pradyot Kishore Mankiya Debbarma, is shown as gathering 9-16 seats from the tribal areas with a concentrated 20% of the vote share.
However, the Left-Congress combine doubted the exit polls, with Congress leader Sudip Roy Burman stating, "The BJP will end up in single digits... people have voted against the lawlessness prevailing in the state. It was a revenge vote against the party in power." The ETG-Times Now poll indicated that the BJP would remain the largest party, but with a substantial drop from their previous tally of 36 to just 24 seats, while the Left-Congress would get 21 seats, with Tipra Motha snatching 14 seats in the tribal areas.
Meanwhile, the ZeeNews-Matrize exit poll predicted that the BJP and its ally would win 29-36 seats in Tripura, while the Left-Congress would get between 13-21 seats, and Tipra Motha Party would get between 11-16.
In Meghalaya, both the Times Now ETG Exit and India Today-My Axis polls predicted a hung assembly. Chief Minister Conrad Sangma remained confident of victory, saying, "We are happy that exit poll predictions are in line with our belief that we will get more seats than what we did last time... we are keeping all our options and will do what is in the best interest of the state."
The Times Now ETG Exit poll predicted that Sangma's NPP (National People's Party) would get 18-26 seats, Trinamool Congress led by former chief minister Mukul Sangma would take 8-14 seats, UDP another 8-14 seats while BJP would improve its tally from two to anything between 3-6 seats.
India Today-My Axis predicted that NPP would bag 18-24 seats, short of a majority, forcing it to look towards other parties to shore up figures. It also gave UDP 8-12 seats, Congress 6-12 seats, TMC 5-9 seats and the BJP 4-8 seats. The Zee News-Matrize exit poll predicted that the National People's Party would retain Meghalaya with 21 to 26 seats. Also, it predicted 8-13 seats for Trinamool and 6-11 for BJP.
In Nagaland, the NDPP is slated to get 28-34 seats with a vote share of 33 per cent, according to India Today-My Axis. The poll also gives BJP a surprising 16 per cent vote share and 10-14 seats, possibly coming from eastern Nagaland where it focused its campaigning. Congress is predicted to get 10 per cent votes and between 1-2 seats and the rump of the Naga People's Front which remained after some 21 MLAs joined NDPP is forecast to get 13 per cent vote share and between 3-8 seats.
Times Now similarly predicts 27-33 seats for NDPP, 12-16 seats for BJP, and 4-8 seats for NPF. While Zee News-Matrize is giving 35-43 to NDPP-BJP, it has also predicted 2-5 seats for the NPF and 1-3 seats for the Congress.
