92.10% voter turnout recorded in Bengal Phase 2 poll; Axis My India predicts bumper debut for Vijay's TVK

In West Bengal, Phase 2 of the assembly elections recorded a 92.10 percent voter turnout, driven by intense political mobilisation and high participation among women voters. Early projections suggest a significant edge for the BJP in the state. In Tamil Nadu, Axis My India predicts a major debut for actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), estimating a 35 percent vote share and 98 to 120 seats, potentially challenging the ruling DMK. Meanwhile, pollsters project the Congress-led UDF returning to power in Kerala, ending the incumbent government's decade-long rule. In Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma is expected to secure a dominant three-fourths majority for the NDA, marking a historic third consecutive term. The NDA is also projected to retain power in Puducherry.
