Assembly Elections 2019 - Voting Ends In Maharashtra, Haryana, BJP Hopes To Retain Both: 10 Points

Reported by Mohammed Ghazali, Edited by Anindita Sanyal | Monday October 21, 2019, New Delhi

Voting for the assembly polls has ended in Maharashtra and Haryana, with both states registering a lower turnout than in 2014. Maharashtra recorded a voter turnout of 60.05 per cent - slightly below 63.4 per cent in 2014. Only 65 per cent polling was registered in Haryana, compared to 76.3 per cent in 2014. Going by conventional wisdom, the low turnout held hopes for the BJP, which is seeking a second term in power in both states. The Congress, yet to recover from its rout in the Lok Sabha election, is in a shambles -- battling factionalism, rebellion and defections. Its ally in Maharashtra, Sharad Paward's Nationalist Congress Party, is struggling too. Bypolls were held in 53 seats across 17 states and the union territory of Puducherry. The counting of votes will take place on Thursday.
