Several exit polls on Wednesday (April 29, 2026) predicted a thumping victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Assam and a clear edge for the party over the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, while projecting a return of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government in Tamil Nadu and a comeback by the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala after 10 years.

However, some pollsters predicted a big win for the TMC in West Bengal and a hung House in Tamil Nadu with actor-turned politician Vijay's TVK emerging as a spoiler for the DMK.
