Elsewhere, the DMK has taken a comfortable lead in considerable constituencies. Political leaders like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav have already started conveying their heartiest congratulations to MK Stalin, who’d be the third person from the DMK to ascend to the chief ministerial throne after Anna and M Karunanidhi.

Incumbent Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami is comfortably leading in his constituency. ADMK has performed well in the Kongu belt. Elsewhere, up in Bengal, Mamata Banerjee retains Bengal, so is the case with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan who returns to a second consecutive term in the neighbouring state. BJP has taken massive leads in Assam and Puducherry.
