Will Haryana hold on to Hooda?

October 19, 2014 08:01

Haryana recorded its highest-ever turnout of 76.54 per cent while Maharashtra recorded 63.13 per cent polling. Normally, a high voter turnout indicates an anti-incumbency vote. If Hooda wins, it will be his third term.

Exit polls have projected that the BJP will emerge as the largest party in both Maharashtra and Haryana stopping short of majority.

Counting will be held across 288 counting centres at 269 locations in Maharashtra. Trends are expected to be available around noon and final results will begin pouring in around 3 pm.
