Shashi Tharoor (Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram) expressed optimism about the Congress party's chances in the Kerala Assembly Elections, projecting they will win more than 75 seats. He campaigned in over 55 constituencies across 12 districts and believes feedback from party members and the media supports this outlook. Tharoor, however, remains skeptical about exit polls, citing the complexities of India's diverse society, which complicate accurate polling. Various exit polls suggest the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) will secure a majority, with predictions ranging from 72 to 85 seats for the UDF, while the ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) is expected to win between 49 to 62 seats. The elections, held on April 9, recorded a voter turnout of 78.27%.
