Assembly Elections 2021: Who Will Win

As the Assembly elections kick off across West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry, the fate of several political stalwarts would be decided by the voters. While opinion polls are out, the final verdict will be declared only on May 2. In the neck-and-neck contests, it is certainly tough to speculate the winner but those with political inclination and acumen can surely get a feel of which way the wind is blowing. Based on astrological calculations, face reading and understanding of the political landscape, popular prophesier and astrologer Pandit Jagannath Guruji has predicted some possible outcomes of the Assembly elections 2021.

West Bengal

The battle of West Bengal is an intense clash between the most fearsome components. While Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) is eyeing a hat-trick, Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to make inroads. As per the findings, even as the TMC has an edge, the BJP is posing a very strong fight. However, Mamata would manage to sail through with the backing of relatively smaller players in the region like the Left and the Congress. The TMC might get 150-160 seats while the BJP will settle for 80-90 seats.

Tamil Nadu

Voters in Tamil Nadu feel it is time to fill the void created by demise of political stalwarts and former chief ministers J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi. The findings suggest that Karunanidhi’s son and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) president MK Stalin may finally step into his father’s shoes to become the Chief Minister of the southern state. The AIADMK, which has had a turbulent journey in post-Jayalalithaa era, is likely to face a loss. The DMK-led UPA is expected to cross the magical number easily, getting 130-145 seats while the NDA might bag 60-70 seats.

Kerala

Since early 1980s, the power corridors of Thiruvananthapuram have seen a change of guard every five years, but things might shake up this time. According to the findings, LDF’s Pinarayi Vijayan is likely to break the chain by retaining the chief ministership. However, the incumbent Chief Minister can expect a neck-and-neck fight by the UDF. The Congress might appear to better its seat tally and vote percentage. The LDF can come out of the elections winning around 80-85 seats while the UDF might register its victory on 50-60 seats.

Assam

The BJP-led NDA is likely to retain power in the northeastern state of Assam. Incumbent Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal will manage to keep the Congress behind in the race to the office. This does not mean that Congress won’t recover some of its base. The grand-old party is expected to perform better than earlier, but it is feeling the absence of late Tarun Gogoi. The BJP-led NDA might win 70-80 seats and UPA is likely to bag 35-45 seats.

Puducherry

Along with the aforementioned political hotbeds, votes will also be cast in the Union Territory of Puducherry. The tiny UT has been a Congress bastion and the outgoing Puchucherry Assembly has no elected BJP member. However, it’s completely different this time as the country’s largest party has emerged as the second largest partner of the AINRC-led alliance. Findings suggest that the NDA will emerge as the winner, ousting the UPA, comprising the Congress and the DMK. The NDA alliance is expected to win 20-23 seats whereas the UPA might get around 7-10 seats.
