Exit polls indicate a competitive landscape in West Bengal with the BJP and TMC in a close contest. Most exit polls predict a tight race, with projections for the TMC-led alliance ranging from 118 to 138 seats and the BJP from 150 to 175 seats.

Key projections:

• PMARQ: 118-138 seats for TMC-led alliance; 150-175 seats for BJP.
• Matrize: 125-140 seats for TMC+; 146-161 for BJP.
• JVC: 131-152 seats for TMC+; 138-159 for BJP.
• Two seats projected for Congress.

The exit polls were conducted after the second phase of voting concluded in West Bengal. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is projected to secure a clear majority in Assam and Puducherry. Meanwhile, the DMK-led coalition is leading in Tamil Nadu, and the United Democratic Front (UDF) is ahead in Kerala.

In Tamil Nadu, actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is expected to make significant gains, according to Axis My India. The political landscape across these states shows varied dynamics as parties vie for power.

The results will clarify how these projections hold up against actual election outcomes. Observers are keenly watching the final tallies as they come in post-election.
