The exit polls for the 2026 assembly elections in India suggest significant shifts in political power across several states. In West Bengal, the BJP is projected to cross the majority mark, with estimates ranging from 146 to 161 seats, indicating a potential breakthrough after years of groundwork. However, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) led by Mamata Banerjee could still pose a challenge, with one poll suggesting they may secure 177 to 187 seats. In Tamil Nadu, the DMK-led alliance is anticipated to face a challenge from the new Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), with projections placing the DMK between 145 and 160 seats. The AIADMK-BJP alliance is expected to gain traction in the Western region, with estimates of 65 to 75 seats. In Kerala, the United Democratic Front (UDF) is projected to regain power with 78 to 88 seats, while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) may drop to 55 to 65 seats. Assam is expected to remain a stronghold for the NDA, with projections of 88 to 100 seats, while the Congress-led opposition is likely to secure only 24 to 36 seats. Lastly, in Puducherry, the AINRC-BJP alliance is projected to maintain control with 18 to 22 seats, stalling the Congress-DMK coalition.
