According to the projections, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) may win anywhere between 16 to 20 seats in the Assembly Elections. The counting of votes will take place on May 2. It can be seen that in the 2016 Assembly Elections, the NDA had won 12 seats.

However, it can be seen that the road to power is not so smooth for BJP as AINR Congress chief N Rangaswamy is upset with the public statement made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah that Puducherry will have a BJP CM. If the BJP fails to placate Rangaswamy and the AINR Congress decides to go solo, benefitting the UPA.
