The projections, if they come true, would be a major blow to Congress in the run-up to 2014 while leaving the BJP not entirely happy either.
The poll puts BJP's tally in the 70-member Delhi assembly at 25, well short of the halfway mark and only just ahead of Congress's 24. AAP is seen winning 18 seats, remarkable for a fledgling party.
In Chhattisgarh, while the Raman Singh-led BJP seems to have the edge, it could be touch and go with its projected tally of 46 just at the majority mark in the 90-member assembly. The Congress is estimated to win 41 seats, only a little behind the BJP.
'Hat-trick for Chouhan'
In Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan is projected to comfortably get a hat trick of wins, with the BJP's tally estimated at 126. While this would be a reduction from the 143 seats the party won in 2008, it is well above the halfway mark in the 230-member assembly. Congress is projected to secure a tally of 88 seats.
In Rajasthan, the Ashok Gehlot government appears to be suffering a major anti-incumbency wave which could reduce the Congress tally in the 200-member assembly to just 65 seats. BJP, in contrast, could see its tally jump sharply from just 78 in 2008 to 112 this time around.
The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), if the opinion poll proves right, could be loser in all the states except Delhi, where it is projected to retain its tally of two seats.
In Madhya Pradesh, Mayawati's party is projected to win five seats as compared to seven in 2008. In Chhattisgarh, the poll suggests, BSP's seat tally could come down from two to one and in Rajasthan from six to just two.
In Rajasthan, Cong could see its tally fall to 65 seats. BJP may see its seat numbers jump sharply from just 78 in 2008 to 112.
