The West Bengal assembly election results are just days away, but the state's exit polls have left many knotty points. Most exit polls in West Bengal have predicted that the BJP will win the assembly election when the results are announced on May 4.
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress (TMC) has rejected the poll projections, even though some predict the party will retain power and return for a fourth term.
A key pollster, Axis My India, has skipped releasing exit poll projections for West Bengal, citing a high degree of hesitancy and refusal rate among voters.
Matrize and P-Marq suggested the BJP winning Bengal, ending Mamata's 15-year reign. The Poll Diary survey suggested the BJP winning 142-171 seats, while the TMC trailing with 99-127 seats.
However, People's Pulse and Janmat polls projected a TMC tide in Bengal, giving Mamata a fourth term.
High drama erupted in Kolkata after the TMC made a major tampering claim about the opening of ballot boxes in the EVM strongroom on Wednesday, after Mamata Banerjee called on party workers to guard EVM strongrooms.
