In Mumbai, where there are 38 seats up for grabs, the Congress-NCP is likely to get 20 seats, BJP-SS 14 and others two. Yesterday, the opinion poll had projected Congress-NCP to do well in Marathwada and Vidarbha and the Sena-BJP to do well in northern Maharashtra. The opinion poll shows NCP chief Sharad Pawar leading the popularity chart of Congress-NCP leaders for the chief minister's post logging 33 per cent of the votes, ahead of incumbent Sushilkumar Shinde (30 per cent). Among saffron leaders, Sena Chief Bal Thackeray's popularity rating for the top slot in the state stood at 33 per cent while BJP's Pramod Mahajan was favoured by 19 per cent voters and Gopinath Munde by 16 per cent. The popularity of Uddhav, the son of Bal Thackeray and considered the heir apparent, was at 10 per cent.
