Overall the BJP has been tipped to register a big win and deliver a third consecutive term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is expected to edge the contest for Maharashtra's 48 Lok Sabha seats, according to exit polls published Saturday evening. The BJP and its coalition - breakaway factions of Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena and Sharad Pawar's NCP - is expected to win at least 22 seats (according to ABP News-C Voter) and a maximum of 41 (Jan Ki Baat's prediction).
The opposition INDIA bloc, led by the Congress and including the original Sena and NCP groups, led by ex-Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar, can expect a best haul of 23-25 seats (so says ABP News-C Voter) and as little as 13 (data from India News-D Dynamics).
