Parties categorised as `others' are likely to bag 30 seats. The poll, conducted by `Insight' covering about 1.20 lakh voters in 127 constituencies, was held in Delhi, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh where polling has been fully completed and in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh where polling has been partially conducted.

Eleven constituencies in various Union territories, Goa and Jammu & Kashmir have not been accounted for in the exit poll.

The exit poll gives BJP a clean sweep in Delhi with the party expected to bag six of the seven seats and impressive gains in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

In Tamil Nadu, DMK and its allies including BJP are set to get 26of the 39 seats with AIADMK-Congress combine bagging the remaining seats. The Moopanar-led Tamil Maanila Congress is set to draw a blank.

In neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, the TDP-BJP alliance is tipped to secure a massive victory getting 33 of the 42 seats while the Congress is predicted to lose heavily bagging only seven seats as against 22 in the last elections. `Others' have been given two seats.

Maharashtra, where Sharad Pawar's NCP has almost riven the Congress vote bank, is expected to go the BJP-Shiv Sena way with the combine likely to get 31 of 48 seats, leaving 10 for the Congress and seven for `Others'.
