Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has done a neat u-turn today saying his Samajwadi Party is open to a partnership with arch-rival Mayawati in Uttar Pradesh if needed, even as a poll of exit polls this evening showed the BJP getting 211 of the state's 403 assembly seats, which would put it safely past the 202 needed to form government.
At 8.30 pm on Thursday, an aggregate of six exit polls showed the BJP getting 211, the Samajwadi Party-Congress 122 and Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) 61 seats.
Two surveys helped the BJP past the halfway mark in the poll of exit polls by predicting a huge win for the party - India Today-Axis has predicted that the BJP will get between 251 and 285 seats, while News 24 - Today's Chanakya gives the party 285 seats.
Three other exit polls show the BJP well ahead of the other parties but falling short of 202, while one, by Times Now - VMR predicts the party will get between 190 to 210 seats, the upper end of which will give it a majority.
