In the lead-up to the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, senior BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan has urged caution regarding exit poll projections, stating, “The exit polls are not exact.” She emphasized that clarity will only come with the official results. The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) is optimistic about its prospects, with candidate Manoharan claiming the party will secure between 190 and 200 seats and form the next government under Edappadi K Palaniswami. He criticized the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for halting development projects initiated by the previous AIADMK administration. Various exit polls present differing forecasts: Axis My India suggests that Vijay's newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) could win 98-120 seats, while the DMK-led alliance is projected to secure 92-100 seats. Other polls, such as Peoples Pulse and Matrize, indicate a possible return to power for the DMK, estimating its seats between 125 and 145. As Tamil Nadu awaits the final vote count, the political landscape remains uncertain.
