The exit poll results for the 2024 elections, were very surprising, especially in South India. Even though it had been said before that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would do well in the area, the exit polls now back up this claim. According to the exit polls, the political climate has changed. The BJP is expected to win 60 seats in South India, which is more than their original goal. This goes against the idea that the BJP is not present in South India.
Tamil Nadu: Exit polls show that the BJP has made big gains in Tamil Nadu, a state where they have had a hard time in the past. The party is expected to win one to three seats and NDA = 7 seats, which shows that more and more people in Tamil Nadu are on board with the BJP. This could possibly change the way politics work in the state.
Kerala: Exit polls show that the BJP did very well in Kerala, a state where they have never won an election before. It is expected that the BJP will win four seats, giving the old parties, the UDF and LDF, a run for their money. Exit polls suggest that Trissur and Trivandrum are a sure shot win for BJP. The arrival of a third choice could change the way politics work in Kerala.
Karnataka exit polls show that the BJP will win most of the seats, with the NDA expected to win 25 of the 28 seats. It looks like the BJP will win all the seats, leaving the Congress party with none.
Andhra Pradesh: The BJP is likely to win 18 seats in Andhra Pradesh, which will make the NDA’s situation even stronger.
Telangana: The exit polls for Telangana aren’t as accurate, but they do show that the number of BJP seats could go from four to nine out of 17 seats. This goes against the idea that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party controls the state.
What this means for the BJP: The exit poll results show that the BJP’s attempts to grow in South India have been successful. This rise is due in part to the party’s strategic alliances, aggressive campaigning, and the appointment of new leaders. If the BJP becomes a real option to South India’s traditional parties, it could cause big changes in the political scene there. The exit poll figures for the 2024 elections in South India suggest a strong performance by the BJP. The party’s efforts to gain support in the region have paid off, challenging the perception that the BJP has no presence in South India. If these figures translate into actual results, the BJP-led NDA alliance could significantly impact the political dynamics in South India.
