Various exit polls on Monday have predicted that the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) might retain power in Tripura and Nagaland, while Conrad Sangma’s National People’s Party (NPP) likely to emerge as the single largest party in Meghalaya.
An aggregate of exit polls showed the BJP's alliance government will come to power in Nagaland with ally NDPP (Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party), and win at least seven seats in Meghalaya -- up from two.
In the meantime, exit polls also indicate the Congress could be heading for its biggest setback in the northeast, winning only one seat in Nagaland, and six in Meghalaya, where it was the single-largest party last time.
An aggregate of four exit polls indicates that the BJP may get 32 seats -- barely above the majority mark of 31 -- in the 60-seat Tripura assembly. The Left, which ruled the state for more than 30 years, is likely to get only 15 seats -- the Congress, its unexpected ally for this election, unlikely to add anything to the tally.
Tipra Motha, the new party floated by erstwhile royal Pradyot Kishore Debbarma with the core demand of Greater Tipraland -- is likely to bag 12 seats.
In Nagaland, the BJP-NDPP alliance is expected to win 42 seats, way above the majority mark of 31. The NPF is likely to win six seats and the Congress one, indicated an aggregate of four exit polls.
