Exit polls released on April 29, 2026, indicate a strong likelihood of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning in Assam, with projections showing the party having a competitive edge over the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is expected to return to power in Tamil Nadu, while the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is anticipated to reclaim control in Kerala after a decade. However, some pollsters have predicted a significant win for the TMC in West Bengal and a hung assembly in Tamil Nadu, with the actor-turned-politician Vijay's party, the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK), potentially acting as a spoiler for the DMK. These exit polls reflect a dynamic political landscape as the elections approach.
