Most exit polls predict a significant decrease in seats for the ruling YSRCP compared to its 2019 tally. However, the Centre for Politics and Policy Studies projects 95-105 seats for the party.
Observers say the SKM’s various welfare schemes including ‘Sikkim Aama Yojana’, ‘Bahini’ and ‘Vatsalaya’ and the slogan ‘Garib Ka Sarkar’ played the trick for party.
