New Delhi, Sept. 21 :     The NDTV-Insight exit poll has given the BJP-led alliance a massive lead, saying the party is set to win 213 seats in the first three phases of elections. The much-maligned Doordarshan exit poll had predicted 191 seats for the alliance. The Doordarshan survey was conducted in 344 seats, but the NDTV exit poll covered 333 constituencies, dropping 11 where repolling has been ordered. Some of the findings of the NDTV poll threw up surprises. In Punjab, the Akali Dal-BJP alliance is projected to win eight of the 13 seats, news that would flatter chief minister Parkash Singh Badal. There have been surmises that the Dal would do badly due to the anti-incumbency factor and the breakaway Tohra-faction taking away a substantial section of Akali vote. The survey gives the BJP combination six of the seven seats in Delhi. But in the November 1998 Assembly polls, the BJP had been swept out of Delhi. The NDTV survey suggests Manmohan Singh is set to lose, a proposition not many in Delhi are willing to buy. While the Congress is losing its touch in the south, the BJP is poised for a clean sweep of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, states where it had no base only 30 months ago, the survey results suggest. Though BJP has worked out advantageous alliances in the two states, that the party may win 18 of the 28 seats in Karnataka or N. Chandrababu Naidu may get of 33 of the 42 seats in Andhra Pradesh is unexpected. In Maharashtra, the survey predicts that 31 of the 48 seats will go to the saffron brigade, with Sharad Pawar damaging the Congress? chances and the Sena gaining the maximum mileage from the split Opposition votebank. The Congress was likely to be one up on the Marxists in Kerala, but in Madhya Pradesh it was expected to do badly, according to the NDTV survey. Despite chief minister Digvijay Singh?s spectacular performance in November, the BJP will retain most of the 30 seats it had won in the 1998 elections, the exit poll said. In the violence-torn south-Bihar, the BJP was expected to do only marginally better than last time, winning 16 of the 19 seats that went to polls on Saturday.
