India Today-Axis-My-India survey get Gujarat & HP exit poll prediction right
Mumbai: The India Today-Axis My-India exit poll predictions have once again delivered a perfect forecast for the 2022 assembly elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
Exit polls conducted by India Today-Axis-My-India predicted that the BJP would sweep prime minister Narendra Modi’s home state, Gujarat, for the seventh time in a row, but that it would lose Himachal Pradesh in a close race with the Congress.
“The results from the two states again demonstrated how accurate India Today-Axis-My-India exit polls are. The most recent forecasts are consistent with its track record of 95 per cent accuracy in election forecasting,” the channel claimed.
According to exit polls conducted, the BJP was expected to win between 129 and 151 seats in the 182-member Gujarat assembly. The opposition Congress party was expected to win 16 to 30 seats, while Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP would win 9 to 21.
The actual state results, which gave the BJP a landslide and significantly reduced the Congress’s strength in the new house, validated India Today’s predictions as the most accurate in the industry, the channel said. As predicted, the Aam Aadmi Party finished third.
In Himachal Pradesh, the Congress was expected to win 30 to 40 seats in the 68-member state assembly, which it did.
As predicted by the India Today-Axis-My-India post-poll survey, the BJP fell short of its 2017 performance, when it won 44 seats. Exit polls also predicted that the saffron party would win 24 to 34 seats in 2022.

Business Today MindRush returns to Mumbai, spotlight on India’s edge in a fractured world
Policymakers and corporate heavyweights gather to map supply chains, energy security and markets
MUMBAI: As fault lines widen across global trade and geopolitics, Business Today is doubling down on India’s moment. The 14th edition of Business Today MindRush & Best CEOs Awards lands in Mumbai on March 28, pitching India’s strategic edge at the centre of a fragmenting world.
The day-long summit, presented by PwC, will bring together a tight mix of policymakers, industry leaders and market voices to decode shifting supply chains, maritime strategy, defence priorities, energy security and capital markets—sectors now deeply entangled with geopolitics.
M Nagaraju, secretary, department of financial services, ministry of finance, will headline the event, setting the tone for discussions that aim to track how India is repositioning itself amid disrupted trade routes and volatile energy dynamics.
The speaker slate reads like a cross-section of India Inc’s command centre. Krishna Swaminathan will zero in on sea lanes and supply chains, while Prashant Ruia is set to push the case for self-reliance in oil and gas. Ashish Chauhan will weigh in on capital markets at a pivotal juncture, as a panel featuring Vibha Padalkar, Sanjiv Mehta, Amish Mehta and Sanjeev Krishan debates navigating economic uncertainty.
Leadership under pressure will be another running theme. Madhavkrishna Singhania, Sharvil Patel, Karan Bhagat and Anurag Choudhary will unpack how businesses are steering through disruption. Arun Alagappan will turn the spotlight on fertilisers, Arundhati Bhattacharya will reflect on leadership transitions, while Anish Shah and S Vellayan will outline blueprints for building future-ready conglomerates.
The event will close with Aroon Purie setting the broader editorial lens, before the Best CEOs Awards recognise standout corporate leadership across sectors.
At a time when the global order looks increasingly splintered, MindRush 2026 is positioning itself as more than a conference—it is a signal that India intends not just to navigate the churn, but to shape it.
