Relief for UPA in Tamil Nadu As Cong-DMK Alliance Set to Win Big

Here are the 2019 exit poll results for Tamil Nadu, Karanataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

In Tamil Nadu, the main contest is between the DMK and AIADMK. The Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu's Vellore parliamentary constituency were rescinded after the Income Tax (I-T) department seized unaccounted cash from a DMK functionary’s cement warehouse.

The TDP, YSRCP and Jana Sena Party have locked horns in Andhra Pradesh, which sends 25 seats to the Lok Sabha. The southern state also went for Assembly elections.

Meanwhile, in Telangana with 17 constituencies, the BJP and the Congress are trying to dent the hold of the ruling TRS.

The Congress, CPI(M) and BJP are the parties in the fray in Kerala with 20 constituencies while the BJP, Congress and JD(S) are at loggerheads in Karnataka, which sends 28 representatives to the Lok Sabha.

Here are what the six exit poll surveys – Chanakaya-News24, Axis My India- India Today, Nielsen- ABP, Times-VMR , CNN-IPS and CVoter – predict for each of the states in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections.

Karnataka

Congress, who managed to form a government in Karnataka Assembly polls last year, forging a post-poll alliance with JD(S), is seemed to have crashed out in Karnataka, with all the six polls showing the party behind BJP by a significant margin. The closest margin was shown by ABP’s Nielsen survey, with a difference of two seats - 13 seats against BJP’s 15.
