Exit polls released after the conclusion of voting in three state assembly elections suggest a neck-and-neck contest between the ruling party and the main opposition. The results are expected to be announced in three days.

Political analysts are divided in their predictions, with some suggesting a hung assembly scenario in at least one state. The elections were conducted peacefully with a voter turnout of approximately 68%, higher than the previous elections.

Party leaders from all sides have expressed confidence in their victory, while also preparing for potential coalition scenarios. The actual results on counting day could spring surprises, as exit polls have been known to be inaccurate in the past.
