Meanwhile, Prime Minister Modi, who was in Kanyakumari for a 45-hour meditation, ended it and flew back to Delhi. 

Even as we file this copy, exit polls are being held. The numbers start trickling in by 6 pm. As per different surveys, the BJP is set to win the elections by at least a simple majority. However, let’s also remember that exit polls are not a simple piece of cake and are not infallible as it was proved in the year 2004 when Vajpayee did not enjoy a second term.
