Survey predicts close race in Maharashtra

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 16 . A neck and neck race is expected between the ruling Congress-NCP alliance and the Shiv Sena-BJP combine in next month's Maharashtra Assembly polls in Vidarbha, Marathwada and North Maharashtra regions, an NDTV-Indian Express opinion poll tonight said.

The poll carried out in 150 seats in the three regions covering 100 constituencies and 29,763 voters showed the Congress-NCP getting 75 seats and the saffron alliance bagging 73 seats. In Marathwada, the Congress-NCP is shown as having gained, getting 26 of the 48 Assembly seats, with the BJP-Sena alliance securing only 22, but the latter is projected to do very well in North Maharashtra getting 24 of the 36 Assembly seats.

In Vidharbha, the Congress-NCP is predicted to forge ahead comfortably bagging 38 of the 66 seats while the Sena-BJP is projected to get 27. — PTI
