Pune: While the entire state waits for the result of the assembly polls, to be declared on Thursday, a candidate in Pune has already been 'declared a minister' in yet-to-be-formed Maharashtra cabinet.

A few candidates, who contested the assembly polls in Pune, or their supporters, seemed to have confused the exit polls with the actual result. Several posters were erected here congratulating two BJP candidates and one NCP candidate. Even crackers were burst to celebrate the “victory”.
