On Saturday (June 1), shortly after voting concluded for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, many pollsters released exit poll projections. Exit polls are post-election surveys that attempt to anticipate the mood of the nation. The Hindi belt, often known as the Hindi heartland, plays an important role in defining who will win the Lok Sabha election. This is owing in part to numerical strength, the north has a total of 245 Lok Sabha seats, whereas the Hindi belt, except Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, has 226. The states that form the Hindi heartland include Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand. In addition, the National Capital Territory of Delhi is considered part of the Hindi heartland. Here's how Hindi heartland states performed according to exit polls: Bihar Total seats: 40 Axis My India BJP: 13-15 JD(U): 9-11 RJD: 6-7 Congress: 1-2 Republic P-Marq NDA (BJP-JDU-LJP): 37 INDIA bloc (RJD-Congress): 3 Jan Ki Baat BJP: 14-17 JDU: 12-14 LJP: 4-5 RJD: 6-2 INC: 2-1 Other: 1 Today's Chanakya NDA: 36 ± 4 Seats INDIA Bloc: 4 ± 4 Seats Others 0 ± 1 Seats Chhattisgarh Total seats: 11 Today's Chanakya NDA: 11 ± 1 Seats INDIA Bloc: 0 ± 1 Seats India TV- CNX NDA: 10-11 INDIA Bloc: 0-1 Axis My India BJP: 10-11 INDIA Bloc: 0-1 News18 Mega NDA: 9-11 INDIA bloc: 0-2 Also read: Exit Polls give BJP a thumping victory, record third term to PM Modi Delhi Total seats: 7 Axis My India NDA: 6 INDIA bloc: 1 News18 NDA: 5-7 INDIA bloc: 0-2 Polstrat NDA: 7 INDIA bloc: 0 TV-CNX NDA: 6-7 INDIA bloc: 0-1 Haryana Total seats: 10 News18 NDA: 5-7 INDIA bloc: 3-5 Axis My India NDA: 6-8 India bloc: 2-4 ABP-CVoter NDA: 4-6 INDIA bloc: 4-6 Times Now-ETG Survey NDA: 7 INDIA bloc: 3 Also read: Lok Sabha Elections Exit Polls: States where BJP faces electoral headwinds Himachal Pradesh Total seats: 4 News18 NDA: 4 INDIA bloc: 0 Axis My India NDA: 4 INDIA bloc: 0 VMR NDA: 3 INDIA bloc: 1 ABP News-CVoter NDA: 4 INDIA bloc: 0 Jharkhand Total seats: 14 News18 NDA: 12 INDIA bloc: 2 Axis My India NDA: 8-10 INDIA bloc: 6-4 TV-CNX NDA: 10-12 JMM: 1-3 INC: 0 VMR NDA: 13 INDIA bloc: 1 Madhya Pradesh Total seats: 29 Today’s Chanakya NDA: 29 INDIA bloc: 0 My Axis India NDA: 28-29 INDIA bloc: 0-1 News18 NDA: 25-26 INDIA bloc: 3-4 India TV-CNX NDA: 29 INDIA bloc: 0 Rajasthan Total seats: 25 Times Now-ETG Survey NDA: 18 INDIA bloc: 7 India TV-CNX NDA: 21-23 INDIA bloc: 2-4 Today's Chanakya NDA: 22 INDIA bloc: 2 Other: 1 News18 NDA: 18-23 INDIA bloc: 2-7 Uttarakhand Total seats: 25 VMR NDA: 5 INDIA bloc: 0 India TV-CNX NDA: 5 INDIA bloc: 0 Today's Chanakya NDA: 5 ± 1 INDIA bloc: ± 1 Axis My India NDA: 5 INDIA bloc: 0 Uttar Pradesh Total seats: 80 Axis My India BJP: 64-67 SP- 7-9 Cong: 1-3 BSP: 0-1 Today's Chanakya NDA: 68 ± 7 Seats INDIA Bloc: 12 ± 6 Seats Others: 0 PMARQ NDA: 69 INDIA bloc: 11 OTHER: 0 India TV-CNX BJP: 62-68 RLD: 2 Apna Dal: 2 SP: 10-16 INC: 1-3 (With inputs from agencies)

Exit polls 2024: NDA dominates Hindi heartland, sweeps Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar

With <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-general-elections-2019/exit-polls-2019-pm-modi-returning-to-power-with-300-plus-seats-say-pollsters-219927">exit polls going live with their predictions</a> for the Lok Sabha 2019 results on Sunday, one thing that looks imminent is the BJP making a clean sweep in most of the Hindi heartland of the country. The party is slated to win the general elections with a clear majority, comfortably bagging over 300 seats, the pollsters said.&nbsp;

As per various exit polls, the BJP is set to steal the show in states like <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-general-elections-2019/lions-share-of-uttar-pradeshs-seats-going-to-bjp-predict-exit-polls-219936">Uttar Pradesh</a>, Bihar, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.&nbsp;

In Rajasthan, the NDA is looking to bag over 20 seats out of a total of 25 seats, C-Voter predicted. Today's Chanakya predicted the BJP making a clean sweep in Rajasthan, winning all 25 seats.&nbsp;

The prediction is almost similar for Gujarat where C-Voter predicted the BJP to claim victory on 22 of 26 seats - a slight dip from its 2014 tally when it had swept the state. Today's Chanakya, however, predicted that the party will make a clean sweep, registering a win on all 26 seats.&nbsp;

In Madhya Pradesh, where 29 Lok Sabha seats are at stake, pollsters predicted 25 to 27 seats to go to BJP's kitty. Today's Chanakya showed 27 seats for the BJP while the Congress will settle with 2. The IPSOS exit poll predicted 24 to 27 seats for the BJP and 2 to 4 for the Congress in the state.

The Aaj Tak Axis poll suggested the BJP would register a massive win in Madhya Pradesh with 26 to 28 seats.&nbsp;

The BJP-led NDA is slated to get the lion's share of Uttar Pradesh's 80 Lok Sabha seats, as per exit polls. Times Now-VMR said NDA will get 58 seats in the state, C-Voter predicted 38 seats for the party. The poll of polls, a collection of various exit polls, suggested 43 seats for the NDA.

It is going to be a flop show for the Congress-RJD alliance and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-general-elections-2019/flop-show-for-congress-rjd-in-bihar-says-pollsters-nda-to-win-big-219966">a thumping victory for the NDA in Bihar</a>, exit polls depicted on Sunday. Out of 40 Lok Sabha seats in the state, the NDA will claim around over 30 seats while the Congress-RJD alliance will settle with around 4-6.&nbsp;

The News18-IPSOS survey gives 34-36 seats to the NDA in Bihar while Congress-RJD is likely to bag 4 to 6 seats. Today's Chanakya projected NDA to win 32 seats and Congress to claim 8. &nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-general-elections-2019/exit-polls-2019-pollsters-predict-bjp-to-make-a-clean-sweep-in-delhi-on-all-7-seats-219933">In the national capital, exit polls</a> predicted all seven seats to go to the Bharatiya Janata Party.&nbsp;

In 2014, the BJP, along with its NDA constituents had won 336 out of 543 seats and formed the government at the Centre - the first time in about three decades that a party had won such a huge number of seats.

The final results of Lok Sabha 2019 polls will be announced on May 23.&nbsp;
