New Delhi: Today’s Chanakya’s exit poll forecast released on Thursday covers West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, assamand kerala.A day earlier, several other pollsters released estimates for those states.Chanakya today turned the current political landscape upside down in his West Bengal poll predictions, giving a huge mandate to the BJP with 192 seats while pushing the 15-year-old TMC rule to the opposition with 100 fewer seats. The latest forecasts follow that trend, with at least four other pollsters giving the BJP an advantage over Mamata Banerjee’s party.
The figures are a clear sign that Mamata Banerjee’s long rule in Bengal may be coming to an end, paving the way for the Bharatiya Janata Party to form the state’s first government after a fierce and high-pressure campaign led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.In Tamil Nadu, pollsters predict that the Stalin-led DMK alliance will easily retain power, while new political entrant TVK led by Vijay may weaken the main AIADMK-led opposition alliance, pushing Edappadi Palaniswamy’s chances of returning as chief minister to the margins.Projections show that out of the 234-member assembly, Stalin-led DMK has 125 seats, AIADMK has 45 seats and Vijay-led TVK has 63 seats.The figures represent the average number of seats each party is likely to win, Chanakya Today reported. Forecasts point to a landslide victory for the BJP in Assam, hinting at re-election for the current chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarmawhile the Congress appears to be trailing by a huge margin, is of little comfort to Gaurav Gogoi in a state once ruled by his father Tarun Gogoi.For the 2026 Assam elections, Chanakya today predicts that the BJP-led alliance will have a clear advantage and is expected to win 93 to 111 seats, with an average of 102 seats. The Congress-led alliance is expected to get 14 to 32 seats, with an average of 23 seats, while other alliances are likely to remain marginal, with 0 to 2 seats, with an average of 1 seat.In Kerala, forecasts point to a close contest between the incumbent LDF and the main opposition United Liberal Alliance.Forecasts suggest that Kerala will be a hotly contested contest between two fronts in 2026. The UDF is expected to win 60 to 78 seats, with an average of 69 seats, followed by the ruling LDF with 55 to 73 seats, with an average of 64 seats. The BJP is expected to get 3 to 11 seats, with an average of 7 seats, while the other parties are expected to get 0 to 1 seats, with an average of 0 seats.Seat predictions for the other two major states, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, are yet to be announced.
