It's a saffron sweep in Haryana with the BJP set to form government in a state where it won just four seats five years ago in the 2009 Assembly elections. In Maharashtra, the Modi wave has catapulted the party to an emphatic lead in nearly 130 seats in the 288-member Assembly.

Early trends from the counting of votes for the Assembly elections in two states, held on October 15, showed the BJP leading in at least 50 seats in 90-member Haryana Assembly, with the ruling Congress reduced to 14 and the INLD leading at 16 seats.

"People of Haryana and Maharashtra have given us more than we expected. It is a huge victory," the BJP's spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said.

The counting of votes began at 8 am in what is likely to be a Super Sunday for the BJP with most exit polls predicting the party to emerge as the single largest party in the two states, ruled by Congress and its allies for years.

The elections, held earlier this week on October 15, are the first major test of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity after the BJP's landslide victory in Lok Sabha polls five months ago. The party dumped its allies in both states and is fighting them solo.
