One more opinion poll has predicted victory for the BJP in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh where the saffron party is in power.
The Republic TV-P-MARQ poll predicted a two-third victory for BJP in Gujarat (127-140 out of 182) with a vote share of 46.2 per cent, which is much above the 2017 poll result of 99.
Congress is predicted to win 37-45 seats with a vote share of 28.4 per cent. AAP could win 9-21 seats with 20.6 per cent, contrary to a couple of other polls that predicted up to three seats, while others could 0-2 seats.
In Himachal Pradesh, the opinion poll predicted that the BJP will buck the trend to return to power. The BJP is likely to get 37-45 seats (45.2 per cent votes) in a 68-member Assembly.
If this opinion poll is to be believed, Congress will have to be satisfied with 22-28 seats (40.1 per cent), a slight improvement from its 2017 performance. AAP may get one seat (5.2 per cent) while others could get 1-4 seats.
