NEW DELHI:
Exit polls for the four States and one Union territory for which elections was held on Monday showed that Left Front Government will be formed in Kerala. The DMK-Congress alliance heading to victory in Tamil 
Nadu, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee set for a repeat victory in that State and a historic win for the NDA in Assam.
The Congress looks set to form a government in the Union territory of Puducherry, the post-poll surveys indicated. The voter turnout in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry was less than the last Assembly elections in 2011, according to the Election Commission.
Tamil Nadu recorded a turnout of 73.76 per cent as against 78.12 per cent in the last Assembly elections.
While 74 per cent voters turned up in Kerala compared to 75.12 per cent in the last elections, 84.11 per cent voter turnout was registered in Puducherry as against 86.62 per cent in the 2011 polls.
In the two Tamil Nadu constituencies of Thanjavur and Aravakurichi, where the Election Commission deferred the polls to May 23, the Income-Tax Department initiated investigations to identify the candidates allegedly involved in distributing money.
In an unprecedented action, enforcement agencies seized over Rs. 100 crore in Tamil Nadu, of which Rs.48 crore was released after verification of sources.
