Financial ExpressAxis my India Pradeep Gupta explains Why Bengal voters refused to speak before BJP’s riseIndia's pollster Pradeep Gupta states that BJP's electoral success in West Bengal was driven by anti-incumbency, leadership appeal, and organizational strength, rather than Hindu vote consolidation. He reported challenges faced during survey fieldwork including intimidation and high non-response rates, and highlighted the importance of issue-driven voting among Indian voters.Gadgets 360After Counting Day, Axis My India Shows Report Card, And It's A Top ScorerPollster Axis My India released a report card assessing the accuracy of its assembly election predictions for Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, and Assam, noting it was the only agency to correctly forecast actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) winning Tamil Nadu with a predicted 98-120 seats (actual 108 seats, 34.9% vote share). The agency's other predictions across Kerala, Puducherry, and Assam were either accurate or within acceptable margins of error, with Axis also correctly declining to release exit polls for West Bengal citing safety concerns affecting sampling methodology. Axis My India chairman Pradeep Gupta stated the outcome represents a 'victory of data science' after previously being mocked by other pollsters for the TVK prediction.Gadgets 360Tamil Nadu | "They Were Laughing At Us For Predicting Vijay's Victory": Axis My India Chief To NDTVAxis My India's Pradeep Gupta told NDTV that people laughed at their exit poll predicting Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) would win the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, held on April 23. Axis My India was the only polling agency projecting TVK victory with 98–120 seats, while other agencies failed to capture the ground sentiment. After multiple rounds of vote counting, TVK is leading in over 100 seats, with Gupta describing it as a victory for data science.MintFrom breakdown on national TV to TVK prediction success: The viral redemption of Axis My India’s Pradeep Gupta | Today NewsPradeep Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director of polling agency Axis My India, has achieved a public redemption after incorrectly predicting a "400 paar" NDA landslide in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which led to him breaking down on national television. In the 2026 Assembly Elections, Axis My India correctly predicted that TVK (Tamil Nadu-based party led by actor Vijay) would win approximately 100 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly, making it a potential kingmaker, unlike other pollsters who forecast a DMK victory. The agency attributed its methodology to face-to-face polling, noting that 60–70 percent of respondents were unwilling to disclose their voting preferences.MintHow Pradeep Gupta's Axis My India got it right for actor Vijay in Tamil Nadu | MintAxis My India was the only exit pollster to accurately predict Tamil Nadu assembly election results favoring actor Vijay's party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), projecting 98-120 seats for the debutant party while other pollsters forecast a DMK return. The Election Commission's latest trends show TVK leading on 108 constituencies, close to the majority mark of 118, with DMK at 53 seats and AIADMK at 54 seats. The accuracy of Axis My India's exit poll stands in contrast to several other polling agencies that significantly underestimated TVK's performance.Gadgets 360"They Were Laughing At Us For Predicting Vijay's Victory": Axis My India Chief To NDTVAxis My India chief Pradeep Gupta stated that his polling agency was the only one to correctly predict actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) winning the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, projecting 98-120 seats when other agencies dismissed their forecast. TVK is now leading in over 100 seats after vote counting, validating Axis My India's data-driven methodology against widespread skepticism from political observers and rival polling agencies. Gupta attributed TVK's success to strong support from young voters aged 18-39, who comprise 42% of the electorate, and noted the party also received significant female voter support after the DMK.Business StandardDatanomics: Exit polls struggle to gain credibility in Assembly electionsAn analysis of 17 polling agencies' exit polls between 2011 and 2021, covering 70 results across West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry, found that 56 predictions varied significantly from actual election outcomes. Pollster Axis My India cited a 70-80 percent non-response rate among respondents in West Bengal as the reason for declining to conduct exit polls for that state. The findings highlight systemic accuracy issues with exit polling methodologies in India's Assembly elections.The Times of IndiaAxis My India Skips Bengal Exit Polls After 70% Voters Refuse To RespondAxis My India has decided not to release its exit poll projections for the West Bengal Assembly elections, citing that nearly 70% of respondents refused to disclose their voting choices, which created significant non-response bias and made the data statistically unreliable. While Axis My India stepped back from publishing its forecast, other pollsters have released conflicting projections, with some predicting a BJP win and others backing the Trinamool Congress for a fourth term. Election results are due on May 4, with the majority mark set at 148 seats, leaving uncertainty to dominate Bengal's political landscape.Deccan HeraldAnother pollster predicts mega BJP wave in Bengal & Assam; DMK's win in Tamil Nadu, close fight between UDF & LDF in KeralaPolling agency Today's Chanakya released exit poll results predicting a BJP victory in West Bengal and Assam, while Axis My India announced it would not publish its exit poll for West Bengal after approximately 70% of approached voters declined to participate. The high refusal rate, which materially exceeds historical norms, led Axis My India to cite concerns about non-response bias and data reliability as reasons for withholding publication.MintPradeep Gupta's Axis My India will not release West Bengal Exit poll results. Here's why | MintPollster Axis My India, led by chairman Pradeep Gupta, announced on 30 April 2026 that it will not release its exit poll results for the West Bengal Assembly elections, citing that 60-70% of voters refused to respond during face-to-face surveys after casting their votes. The agency said its sample size of only 20-30% was not representative enough to make reliable predictions, and it plans to attempt another survey after voting concluded. Most other pollsters projected a tight race between the BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress, with some predicting a BJP victory for the first time in the state's assembly elections.
