The outcome of multiple exit polls have proved the Bharatiya Janata Party bashers otherwise as almost all exit poll surveys have projected the return of a National Democratic Alliance(NDA) government at the centre much to the heartburn of Congress and several other parties under multiple banners!

The projection has also come at a time when the situation in the saffron camp, by and large, looked like dull and devoid of any mood to rejoice.
Interestingly, if at all most of these surveys were to come true as made public it would go into the annals of history as a landmark verdict as the BJP has never won a second tenure continuously so far.
But a notable characteristic which demands mention about the current mandate is the U-turn of many of the pollsters much before the actual polls.

Most of the surveys had almost written off the BJP from the main Hindi belt comprising of the cow belt. But the revelations if also realising into reality have altogether a different story to tell.
Now as per the exit poll survey reports the Bharatiya Janata Party has improved its earlier tally in a big way not just in the Hindi heartland but also in a big way in Odisha and West Bengal, hitherto unheard of by the party.
Apart from strengthening its earlier position in Odisha, the BJP looks like being benefited by the Biju Janata Dal(BJD), led by Naveen Patnaik, Chief Minister. Such a possibility appears imminent going by the mutual admiration of the PM and CM on public platforms during electioneering.
Unlike the forecast of North India, things remain more or less the same in the Southern region. Initially, the Dravida Munnetra Kazagham(DMK) led combine was forecasted of sweeping all the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu while the BJP registering a duck. But contrary to such assertions now the ruling AIADMK, alliance partner of the BJP is projected to win in 10 seats.
In Kerala, there's not much of difference as the United Democratic Front(UDF) led by the Congress is slated to win in 14 and the ruling Left Democratic Front(LDF) under the stewardship of Communist Party of India(Marxist) has to be content with four and the BJP emerging victorious in Thiruvananthapuram.
Both, in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh the BJP has less to gain while it's in an upbeat mood in Karnataka wherein the party is said to be improving its previous tally of 17 and going far ahead to settle down at a comfortable position of 18-23.
The projected spectacular success of the Bharatiya Janata Party is also being feared to be construed as the last nail on the coffin of the Janata Dal-Secular(JDS) led and Congress supported a coalition government in the state.
The BJP camp is in a terrific upbeat mood following a pro party mandate in the exit polls while both, JDS and Congress camps are finding it difficult to relish and digest the findings.
Siddaramaiah, a former chief minister known for his penchant of tweeting much to the embarrassment of the JDS chief minister and party leaders has preferred to keep mum over the exit poll reports.On the other hand HD Kumaraswamy, Chief Minister is already trying to find fault with Electronic V
