Polls were held for 230-assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh on November 17 and recorded 77.15 per cent voter turnout. The counting of votes will take place on December 3.
Most exit-poll projections of Madhya Pradesh released on Thursday evening put BJP in the lead, with the Congress seen to be coming up short. Some exit polls, however, gave an advantage to the Congress.
Responding to the exit polls, former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath claimed that some exit polls were deliberately created to disappoint Congress workers and put pressure on officers by creating a false atmosphere.
