Jharkhand Exit Poll 2019 Highlights: BJP may not be able to repeat its 2014 performance

The Lok Sabha election 2019 has reached in its final phase i.e. the seventh phase with polling being conducted in 59 constituencies out of 543. After more than a month, we are now finally ready for exit polls. News Nation has conducted the biggest exit poll survey to provide you the most accurate data about Jharkhand.

The state, which has 14 Lok Sabha seats, is very crucial for the BJP. The Congress, the RJD, the JMM and the JVM have forged Grand Alliance in the state. The RJD is also a part of this alliance to take on the ruling BJP in the state. 

In 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, the BJP won 12 seats and left only 2 seats (Dumka and Rajmahal) for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). The Congress and the JMM had forged an alliance in the state to take on the BJP but the Grand Old Party failed to open its account. The 2014 election in Jharkhand was held in three phases on April 10, 17 and 24.

The BJP received 52,07,439 votes with a vote share of 40.7 per cent and the JMM garnered 12,05,031 votes with a vote share of 9.4 per cent. The Congress received 17,24,740 votes with a vote share of 13.5 per cent. The JVM, the AJSU and the RJD received 15,67,655 (12.2%), 4,81,667 (3.80%) and 2,12,571 (1.7%) votes respectively.
