Two major survey agencies projected Trinamool Congress' victory in West Bengal as the exit poll results started streaming in following the conclusion of the final phase of voting in West Bengal on Thursday.
While the exit poll predicted retention of power by the LDF in Kerala, lady luck seem to be shining on MK Stalin with the DMK set to bag majority in Tamil Nadu.
Times Now-CVoter predicted 158 seats for the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress, 115 for the BJP and 19 seats for the Sanjukta Morcha.
The Republic-CNX gave 138-148 seats to the BJP, 128-138 to
TMC and 11-21 seats to Sanjukta Morcha. ABP-CVoter gave 152-164 seats to the TMC, 109-121 to BJP and 14-25 to Sanjukta Morcha.
In the 294-member West Bengal Assembly, 148 seats are required to attain simple majority. While predicting victory to the TMC, all three exit poll predicted over 100 seats for the BJP that had secured only three seats in the last Assembly elections in 2016.
In the event of TMC having only a slender majority over the BJP, the latter might persuade some newly elected TMC legislators to switch sides and join the BJP, thus enabling the saffron party to form its maiden government in the state.
In Tamil Nadu, Republic-CNX predicted 160-170 seats for the DMK and 58-68 for the AIADMK. ABP-CVoter gave 160-172 seats to the DMK and 58-60 to the AIADMK.
According to ABP-CVoter, the LDF will retain power in Kerala by wining 71-77 seats in the 140-member Assembly. The UDF will secure 62-68 seats, while the BJP could get up to two seats.
While AajTak-Axis and Chanakya predicted comfortable victory for the incumbent BJP-led NDA in Assam, ABP-CVoter foresaw neck-and-neck fight between the NDA and Congress-led Grand Alliance for the 126-member Assembly.
If Republic-CNX is to be believed, the NDA might get 16-19 seats and Congress-led SDA 11-13 in the 30-member Puducherry Assembly. ABP-CVoter gave NDA 19-23 seats.
