As the assembly election results for Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal are set to be declared, several critical questions arise. In West Bengal, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) aims to consolidate its Hindu voter base to surpass the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which has dominated since 2009. The BJP's current vote share hovers around 40%, and it needs to secure nearly two-thirds of Hindu votes to reach the 45% threshold held by the TMC. In Assam, the Congress party faces challenges in breaking the trend of Muslim ghettoization, having seen its legislative strength decline while increasing its number of Muslim MLAs. The party must regain support outside Muslim-majority regions to effectively challenge the BJP. In Kerala, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) seeks to retain its average vote share of approximately 45%, a significant benchmark as anti-incumbency sentiments rise. A loss would mark the first time in 50 years that communists would not govern a state in India. Lastly, in Tamil Nadu, the entry of actor Vijay and his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) could disrupt the longstanding Dravidian political duopoly, which has historically maintained around 80% of the vote share. The results from these states will significantly influence the political landscape in India.
