A day after Axis My India released exit poll projections for four assemblies, its founder Pradeep Gupta announced that the projections will not be released for Bengal this time.
The reason, as per Gupta, emanates from reasons affecting the methodology of sampling which leave the survey incomplete.
All the pollsters, barring one, have shown a lead for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bengal, ending chief minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress's 15-year reign.
The pollster said the high degree of hesitancy and refusal rate 'exceeded historical norms and introduces a high degree of non-response bias'.
A team of 80 surveyors travelled across 294 constituencies in Bengal and covered a total of 13,250 respondents.
People's Pulse projected a TMC tide in Bengal giving a fourth term for Mamata. The pollster gave 177 to 187 seats to TMC, while the BJP expected to win between 95 and 110 seats.
