At is what exit polls have predicted. An aggregate of exit polls show the BJP's alliance government coming to power in Nagaland with the ally NDP P and winning at least seven seats in Meghalaya, up from two in Tripura. Exit polls predict a BJP come back a repeat of the historic win. Its performance in Tripura Joe could be lack last if compared to 2018 when it single handedly crossed the majority mark. An aggregate of four exit polls indicate of the BJP may get two seats barely above the majority mark of thought. One in the 60 c Tripura assembly left, which ruled the state for more than 30 years, is like get only 15 seats. The Congress is unexpected ally for the selection, like unlikely to add anything to the tally. The trip Tripura more tha the new party total by the hospital loyal Padre Oh Chris Shore diorama with the core demand of greater Tripura land is likely to bag 12 seats. Exit polls also indicated the Congress could be headed for its biggest setback in the northeast, winning only one seat in Nagaland and six in Meghalaya, where it was the single largest party. Last times exit polls, though, can often get it wrong. The counting of the votes for all three states will take place on Thursday. Crucial polls for Meghalaya Nagaland coming to an end this evening, days after another northeastern state Tripura, also voted together. These three states have kicked off the crucial battle for the 2024 national election in Meghalaya. Polling in 5960 constituencies witnessed a multi cornered fight between several parties. The BJP made a strong pitch against its own ally, Chief Minister Conrad Sang HMAS Be Pete. The TMC has tried hard to win a state beyond Bengal. The biggest fight was in South Bjp's controversial Bernard Maric, arrested last year accused of running a prostitution racket, taking on C. M. Conrad Sangma. In spite of the voting for we even myself, even the my family and even the photos of all have been deprived and we feel that justice to justice to prevail this time using a multi cornered fight and the fact that there are multiple parties that are coming in and in a way, the parties which are against the National People's Party, which is our party, are many. So therefore the the anti votes that are there among were there against us. We will see a split in that. So the fact that there are more political parties, I personally feel that is gonna benefit. In the 59 constituencies, there are 369 candidates who are in the fray, including 36 women, and talking about women out of over 21 lakh voters in Meghalaya, women actually outnumber men in this multi corner elections between national parties and the regional parties in Nagaland community prayers for a peaceful election, women voters in large numbers and feasts outside polling booths while the BJP NDP P alliance led by I CM nephew Rio looks to make a comeback in the state. The biggest opposition party was in Naga Peoples. From what I believe is, and the BJP will get absolute majority so they need of taking orders or not does not arise in that time. When the situation come, the situation demands Then we will see and DPP and beauty Alliance. They did their best to uproot this Nagar National Front because this is the only party which has its route on the Naga soil. I said order Political parties are the falls on the record trickery of tourism. Much has been promised for the people of North East peace development and bringing down militancy in this far end of India are some of the major promises made by all the major political parties in the fray. Well, what happened in the second of March, when results for Meghalaya, Nagaland and Tripura actually come out will have a crucial impact in the big battle of 2024 with Sandeep Choudhary in Meghalaya and cameraperson Sanjay Chakravarty ve dang for India TV.

The report goes on to say it was not a case of animal to human transmission at a wet market in Wuhan as suspected by many experts. Starting the course of the crowbars, pandemic remained divided on the source of the virus, but the latest report, which is less than five pages, says a lab leak caused the pandemic, marking a shift in the same departments earlier view. Speaking to the American broadcaster CNN, the National security advisor of the United States of America said that the intelligence community has not arrived at a conclusion on the origins of the crew in a vise pandemic.

This is Divya Wadhwa for NDTV and after the break, what are economists expecting from the third quarter GDP data statue? Welcome back. Some big business news coming up. As the government is set to report GDP data for the third quarter, Sakshi takes us through what's expected. The government is set to release India's gross domestic product data for the third quarter. That is October December quarter of 23. While S B and Bank of Baroda expect 4.6% growth in the third quarter. Krystle is expecting a 5.2% growth in the third quarter. Now, above all of this, remember, all of these expectations are above the uh expectation of 4.4% growth in Q three. Economists believe various factors will contribute to the moderation of growth. The moderation of growth in numbers is being attributed to normalisation of the base under the base effect. So what really is this base effect now? Essentially is a result of the economy reporting robust growth in the December water of 2021 as the economy recovered from the second wave of Cove in 19. While some experts believe agriculture and manufacturing could witness a slowdown, others field geopolitical uncertainty continues to rattle the global economic landscape. Inflation concerns and great hi queries also persist, and that could weigh on the data. And finally, the Air India CEO Campbell Wilson has admitted at the airline could have reacted better to the incident of In Trunk Flyer urinating on an elderly passenger in the business class of New York Deli Air India flight on the 26th of November. While he says that lessons were learned, he also spoken length about how airline through often suffer physical and verbal abuse on duty in India. There is a very complicated process to sustain people from travelling, which is quite unusual compared to most of the world. And I think perhaps there should be a little bit more discretion lifted the airline to unilaterally take decisions to deny someone carriage when they have, particularly when they're three in crude. When they threatened other passengers. I think S S S I t v pets need to take a look at this. A day goes by without us receiving some report from from crew on behaviour aboard the aircraft and so much of Stamos from people consuming alcohol before they even get on the aircraft or them being upset when they continued to serve alcohol onboard the aircraft. In the vast majority of cases, the people will suffer the abuse sometimes physical I accrued. That's the news at ASAT. Bye bye.
