HIGHLIGHTS TILL NOW
The BJP seems likely to retain power in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand while the Aam Aadmi Party is headed for a historic sweep in Punjab, as per available trends.
Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP is heading for a big win in Punjab with leads in close to 90 seats in the 117-seat assembly. The ruling Congress is trailing with 13 seats.
BJP is short of a majority in both Goa and Manipur. Will it be able to form the government if trends hold? In 2017 too, the party did not win the majority in both the states but managed to form the government with the help of allies.
In Uttarakhand, the BJP has firmly forged ahead with 40-plus seats. The Congress has just crossed 20.
