ABP-C-Voter opinion poll suggests that Mamata Banerjee led TMC is set to return to power in West Bengal. As per the opinion poll, Mamata Banerjee is all set to score a hat-trick in Bengal with the TMC winning around 148-164 seats in the 294-member Assembly. The BJP is expected to increase its tally to somewhere around 92-108 seats from just 3 at present.
Meanwhile in Kerala And tamil nadu:
The Assembly election in Kerala, scheduled to be held in a single phase on April 6, is all set to be a critical fight between the CPI (M)-led LDF and the Congress-led UDF.
The LDF coming to power for a second term would be interesting as the state often votes each coalition into power on an alternate basis. Since 1980, no incumbent party or coalition has been voted back to power in the state.
Kerala is the only state where the CPI(M) is in power and a defeat in the upcoming election would mean a total wipeout of the party. Elections will be held in 140 seats.
In the southern state, MK Stalin’s DMK, which is in alliance with Congress, will defeat ruling AIADMK to form the government, the opinion poll has predicted.
In the 2016 Assembly polls, the AIADMK with J Jayalalithaa at the helm was voted back to power, with a third front led by the Left and Dalit parties splitting the anti-incumbency votes and spoiling the chances for the DMK.
Tamil Nadu will go to polls in a single phase on April 6.
In Puducherry:
Puducherry will see a tough fight between the Congress-DMK alliance and NDA comprising the BJP, NR Congress and AIADMK in 30 constituencies. However, the opinion poll has predicted the NDA alliance to form the govenment.
