Assam | Himanta Biswa Sarma wins for fifth time, sidesteps query on chief ministership
After winning a fifth consecutive term in Assembly polls, BJP leader and senior Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that he did not want to talk about who would become the next chief minister of the state as the decision will be made by the party's central parliamentary board.
The BJP had projected the then union minister Sarbananda Sonowal as its chief minister before the assembly polls in 2016, but the ruling party did not announce any name for the top post this time. Speculations were rife that Sarma would be the new CM.
"I do not want to talk about this. Our parliamentary board will decide about it," Sarma told reporters when asked if he would be the next chief minister. (PTI)

According to trends available till 10.30 am, AINRC chief N Rangasamy was leading in his constituency. The NDA-led front comprises the AINRC, AIADMK and BJP. There are 30 Assembly constituencies spread over Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam regions.

On the other side, the Congress-led Secular Democratic Alliance (SDA) comprises the Congress, DMK, VCK and CPI.

Exit poll predictions: Mixed results for TMC in West Bengal; DMK likely to win Tamil Nadu
Exit polls on Thursday were divided on the outcome of West Bengal Assembly elections with four out of seven giving Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress an edge while the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front is predicted to create history by bucking the trend of ruling coalitions losing elections in Kerala.
Assam is likely to go the BJP way once again though the Congress-led coalition appears to be closing the gap, while the DMK's MK Stalin in all probability will take over as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister comfortably overcoming the challenge of the ruling AIADMK, which joined hands with the BJP to form a coalition. A survey also predicted the AIADMK-BJP combine to trounce the Congress-led coalition in Puducherry.

Counting of votes polled in TN assembly elections begin
Counting of votes polled in all 234 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu during the April 6 elections began at 8 am on Sunday. The process began at all 75 counting centres across the state under tight vigil by security personnel, amid a raging second wave of Coronavirus sweeping the state like other parts of the country.
As many as 72.78 percent of the total 6.30 crore electorate had exercised their franchise in the crucial elections whose results are being keenly awaited not just in Tamil Nadu but across the country. The voting time was increased by an hour this year with people being allowed to vote between 7 am to 7 pm, including Covid-19 patients.

108 centres, 256 companies of central forces, strict Covid measures: All set for May 2 counting for Bengal polls
The Election Commission has made elaborate arrangements for counting of votes on May 2 for the West Bengal assembly polls and put in place measures to ensure strict adherence to health safety protocols, amid a raging second wave of Covid-19, an official said on Saturday.
A three-tier security arrangement has been in place at 108 counting centres where polled electronic voting machines (EVMs), along with voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) units have been kept in strong rooms, he said.
At least 292 observers have been appointed and 256 companies of central forces deployed at the counting centres spread across 23 districts of the state that voted in eight phases between March 27 and April 29.
Assam verdict to decide the fate of alliance politics
The counting of votes on Sunday for Assembly elections in Assam would not just give a verdict about who would form the next government but would also decide the success of alliance politics, perhaps tried more vigorously for the first time.
The three-phased elections for 126 Assembly seats, which concluded on April 6, was a fight among three alliances. One is led by BJP and the second is an alliance of seven opposition parties led by Congress while two new parties, Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and Akhil Gogoi-led Raijor Dal formed the third one and contested the elections together.
Will LDF secure a historic second term?
With most of the poll surveys predicting a clear majority for the ruling CPM-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) in Kerala, the state is expecting a historic outcome of a political front continuing in power.
However, the Congress-led United Democratic Front is still projecting high hopes on the election outcome with party leaders maintaining that there was no scientific basis for the surveys.
Though clear trends of the results used to emerge in Kerala by forenoon, this time, one may have to wait for longer as the number of postal ballots, as well as the number of polling stations were high. While the average number of postal votes in each constituency used to be around 800, this time it is around 4,000 as aged people were also given postal ballot facility. The number of polling stations also increased to 40,771 from 24,970 this time. Election officials said that the final results would be almost clear by afternoon only.
Cong not to participate in poll debates on counting day
The Congress on Saturday decided that it will not participate in election debates on television on Sunday when the results for assembly polls for five states are out.
