UP, West Bengal and Maharashtra: States where Exit Polls went far, far off the mark

Barely a few days after various exit polls indicated an overwhelming majority for Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and NDA (National Democratic Alliance), the counting results have reversed the predictions and how! While the exit polls had generously given 365 Lok Sabha seats to the NDA, the NDA is winning 291 seats as of now. At 241, the BJP is staring at a huge void between the current number and the 272 seats predicted by exit polls.
