New Delhi: The results of the Assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry have redrawn India’s political landscape, delivering a mix of expected outcomes and major upsets. While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged dominant in key regions, new political forces and shifting voter loyalties signalled bigger structural changes in several states.
From Tamil Nadu's dramatic churn led by actor-politician Vijay's TVK to the BJP’s historic breakthrough in West Bengal, the verdict reflected both continuity and disruption. Kerala saw a decisive return of the Congress-led alliance, while Assam reaffirmed the BJP’s hold, making this election cycle one of the most politically significant in recent years.
Here are the party-wise seat tallies
