Pollsters Predict BJP’s Mammoth Win But Its Firebrand Leaders Might Bite The Dust; Here’s What Exit Polls Say In THESE Key Seats

Several pollsters predicted the fate of political parties across the country after the Lok Sabha election drew to a close on Saturday. Almost every agency predicted the BJP-led NDAs clear victory, with many even claiming that the saffron party might accomplish its ambitious 400+ target. As per the polling agencies, the BJP is set to perform significantly well in West Bengal and Odisha and increase its tally against the mighty TMC and the BJD. Besides, the saffron party is likely to make inroads down south as it may, for the first time, open its account in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.    Even as the psephologists predicted the BJPs mammoth win, there are certain high-profile seats where the saffron party may bite the dust.

As per the Axis My Indias exit poll, the BJP is estimated to win between 31 and 42 seats in the state. Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) could secure between 11 to 14 seats, and the Indian alliance could get 0 to 2 seats. However, despite this, there might be a setback for the BJP in the high-stakes Bashirhat seat as its candidate might face defeat at the hands of the TMC candidate. The attention was shifted to this seat as the BJP candidate from this seat is an alleged Sandeshkhali victim. The Sandeshkhali area falls under the Bashirhat Lok Sabha seat, and there was considerable controversy over issues of violence against women and land grabbing here. The victim of Sandeshkhali, Rekha Patra, was made a BJP candidate, but the exit poll suggests that she might lose to TMC candidate Haji Nurul Islam. Amravati: Navneet Rana, the Hindutva leader of the BJP from Amravati, might also have to face defeat. According to the School of Politics (SOP) exit poll, Navneet Rana is losing to Congress candidate Balwant Basavant Wankhede. Navneet Rana is BJPs high-profile leader and has perpetually been in the news for her contentious remarks. Coimbatore: Coimbatore is one of the few seats in Tamil Nadu where the saffron party is hoping to win. The BJP had won this seat in 1998 and 1999 in alliance with the AIADMK. In the last four elections, the Left has won Coimbatore three times - 2004, 2009, and 2019. The AIADMK held this seat from 2014 to 2019. This time BJP has fielded state party chief Annamalai from here. Annamalai has held a fervid campaign in favour of the BJP to make its footprints in the south but as per the Axis My India Exit Poll 2024, there are high chances that Annamalai might face defeat here. The exit poll estimates suggest that DMK leader P. Ganapathi Rajkumar would win from Coimbatore. Chandigarh: Being an urban seat, Chandigarh has always been a strong bastion of the BJP. However, the party may this time face a major setback here. As per pollsters, Congress veteran leader Manish Tiwari seems to be gaining ground in Chandigarh. BJP has fielded Sanjay Tandon from here in the electoral battle. Prior to this, BJP leader Kirron Kher had won this seat on the BJP ticket.
