India is set for a crucial political verdict as counting begins across five regions including West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and Puducherry covering 823 assembly seats. Polls held between April 9 and 29 saw intense contests, particularly in Bengal, marked by repolling and allegations of irregularities. Key leaders including Mamata Banerjee, M K Stalin, Himanta Biswa Sarma and Pinarayi Vijayan are battling to retain power. Exit polls suggest varied outcomes, with potential shifts in Bengal and Kerala, while Assam appears stable. Security has been tightened, and results on May 4 will determine the political trajectory of these regions. (PC: PTI)
