The CVoter predictions are based on a sample of 1,330 people. The Saffron party is expected to bag 34.8 percent of the vote share while the Congress is expected to receive 32.7 percent.

According to India TV exit poll, the BJP is likely to win Manipur with 25-31 seats, followed by Congress with 17-23 seats. 

After BJP and Congress, Irom Sharmila's newly-formed People's Resurgence and Justice Alliance, are expected to claim the remaining seats, according to CVoter.

The Congress' expected 32.7 percent vote share will represent a sharp drop from its 45.6 per cent vote share in the previous election.

If the exit poll predictions come true, the BJP will effectively end the Congress party's 15-year rule in the state.

CVoter predicts largest vote share for BJP with 34.8 percent, INC 32.7 percent and others 32.5 percent.

According to India Today-Axis survey, BJP is making huge inroads, likely to sweep state.
