BJP’s instructions to demoralise TMC workers, says CM Mamata

Kerala Minister Reacts to Exit Polls; High Voter Turnout Reported (Simple English Version)
Kerala Tourism Minister and LDF candidate from the Beypore Assembly seat, P. A. Mohamed Riyas, said he is not worried about exit poll results.
He said that in the 2021 elections, exit polls had predicted his defeat. However, he still won the election with a large victory margin of about 82,000 votes. Because of this experience, he does not take exit polls seriously.

Exit Poll Predictions Across States
On Wednesday (April 29, 2026), several exit polls were released for different states in India.
According to these exit polls:

The BJP is expected to get a clear majority in Assam

In West Bengal, BJP is seen gaining an edge over the ruling TMC

In Tamil Nadu, the DMK government is likely to return to power

In Kerala, the Congress-led UDF is expected to make a comeback after 10 years

In Puducherry, the AINRC-led NDA government is likely to continue in power

These are only predictions made after voting and may not reflect the final results.

West Bengal Voting Update
The second and final phase of voting in the West Bengal Assembly election saw very high participation.
The voter turnout reached a record 92.65% on Wednesday (April 29, 2026).
However, there were some isolated incidents of unrest and violence during the polling process in a few areas.

Summary
While exit polls suggest possible political changes in several states, actual results will decide the final outcome. Leaders like Mohamed Riyas have said they prefer to wait for official results rather than rely on predictions.
