The state election results will be declared on March 10. But both the parties are seen staking claim to form their respective government. Where the ruling BJP claims that it is winning 60 seats, while the Congress claims that it is winning more than 48 seats and is forming the government. Political experts are also apprehensive that a hung assembly may be formed in the state. In such a situation, the role of the winning MLAs of BSP, Uttarakhand Kranti Dal, Aam Aadmi Party will become important.
The meaning of voting decreased compared to 2017
On February 14, voting for 70 assembly seats in Uttarakhand was held in a single phase. A total of 62.5 percent polling has been recorded in the state this time, which is less than the total polling percentage last time. In the 2017 assembly elections, 65 percent voting was done in 70 assembly seats of Uttarakhand, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party won the maximum number of 58 seats. During the tenure of five years, Uttarakhand got three chief ministers.
Four assembly elections have been held in Uttarakhand so far. In these, the Bharatiya Janata Party has got power twice and Congress twice. But this time the equations seem to have changed a bit. While the BJP is hoping to return to power in view of the development work done by the current Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, on the other hand, the Aam Aadmi Party’s entry in the elections is also causing losses to the BJP and the Congress.
