Exit Polls Predict PDP will get Lions Share followed by BJP: NEW DELHI, Dec 21: BJP is projected to get a majority in Jharkhand while Jammu and Kashmir may return a hung verdict with PDP emerging as the single largest party according to two separate exit polls . BJP is likely to fall much short of its mission-44 target in the 87-member J&K Assembly. India TV has put its likely tally in the State at 27-33 seats with a lion’s SHARE, 25-31, coming from Jammu region. Ruling National Conference may register its worst-ever performance and is predicted by India TV poll to come third. India TV has projected 32-38 seats for Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-led PDP. National Conference will come third by winning only 8-14 seats, followed by Congress with 4-10 seats. Others may get 2-8 seats.
