Here’s are the five state general predictions
Uttar Pradesh: While the BJP won in Uttar Pradesh with a sweeping mandate in 2017, this election, the state is expected tough fight from its arch-rivals Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party. It is also expected to be a referendum on the government of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who was criticised over his handling of the Covid second wave as the images of bodies floating down the Ganga shocked the nation. In UP, Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party and Priyanka Gandhi led Congress are the two opponent of the BJP while Mayawati’s BSP and Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM could influence the result.
Punjab: After too many twist and turns, Punjab could witness a multi-cornered fight between the Congress, BJP, Punjab Lok Congress and the Sukhbir Singh Badal’s Shiromani Akali Dal. Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party is confident to throw Congress out of power.
Uttarakhand: The hill state is expected a tight race between the incumbent BJP and its main challenger, the Congress. The hill state has always witnessed a close contest between the two parties, which corner nearly a third of total votes each, leaving a third for others.
Goa: Goa witnessed one of its tempestuous elections this year. However, nobody is able to claim that which party will touch the magic mark of 21 in the 40-member House. Amid anti-incumbency, the BJP is hoping for a third term, while the Congress has been able to regroup itself and is now the main challenger to the BJP. The presence of the AAP and TMC could divide the votes.
Manipur: There are no pre-poll alliances except for the Congress-CPI while the NPP, NPF, a part of the BJP-led coalition government, have expressed dissatisfaction with the Biren Singh government. All three parties have claimed that they will play a role of kingmaker. This will determine who forms the government and who sits in the chief minister’s chair.
However, nobody knows until Thursday if Congress manages to hold on to Punjab, or if the BJP retains power in UP, Goa, Uttarakhand, and Manipur or if Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party pulls a surprise.
