West Bengal election result 2021 LIVE updates: Trends indicate that incumbent Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) will end up convincingly winning in West Bengal, while challenger Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could fall way below its expected number of seats (elections were held in 292 constituencies). In a setback of sorts for the TMC, however, party chief and chief minister Mamata Banerjee leading with a wafer-thin margin (820 votes) against opponent Suvendu Adhikari’s in Nandigram.
In Tamil Nadu, while the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagham (DMK) is well ahead of the incumbent All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagham (AIADMK), the latter is holding its own in some pockets, clearly avoiding the rout that had been expected in a state. Besides, Kamal Haasan of the Makkal Needhi Maiam is leading in Coimbatore.

The BJP is likely to retain Assam, according to most pollsters, while the Left Democratic Front (LDF) may beat anti-incumbency and remain in power in Kerala.
In Puducherry the AINRC-led NDA maintained its lead in 8 out of 30 assembly seats while the Congress-led front was ahead in two segments as the counting of votes polled in April 6 elections was underway.However, Founder leader of AINRC and former Chief Minister of Union Territory N Rangasamy was trailing behind an Independent candidate Gollapalli Srinivas Ashok in Yanam constituency, according to trends available by 12.30 pm today.
