As the polling has picked up momentum in the second phase of polls in 38 assembly constituencies in Jharkhand, exit poll results will be released by evening today. 

Already pollster Pradeep Gupta will release his firm Axis My India's exit poll results for Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections independently. 

The exit poll results for the two states will start at 6.30 pm today – after voting in the second phase of Jharkhand, and the single phase in Maharashtra is over. 

Gupta's firm had ended his long association with India Today during Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir elections results last month. 

Axis My India exit poll results were, instead, streamed on the firm's YouTube channel and on Red Mike, the YouTube news channel headed by former NDTV journalist, Sanket Upadhyay. Gupta's firm has botched many Indian elections forecasts in the recent past. 

The Axis My India exit polls, like most others, failed to predict correct results for Haryana, where BJP returned to power for the third time as against the predictions giving a victory for the Congress party. 

Given the incorrect predictions in the past, netizens asked Gupta to shut shop and start something else, instead. 

“Kripya aap aapna Exit Poll waala dukan bandh kare aur doosra kuch karobar khole.(Please shut your exit poll business and start something else)," a user suggested on X.
