The Axis My India exit poll forecasts a tight race in Odisha's 147-seat Legislative Assembly, with both the BJP and BJD expected to secure 62-80 seats each. If accurate, this would be a significant setback for Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's BJD, potentially leading to a hung assembly for the first time since 2004. The BJP's vote share is projected to rise to 42%, equal to the BJD's, while Congress is expected to gain 5-8 seats. The simultaneous Lok Sabha elections predict BJP dominance with 18-20 seats, overshadowing the BJD's potential 0-2 seats.
