India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to win a third consecutive term in office, exit polls suggest.
Analysts warn the polls, released by various news agencies, have often been wrong in the past and are not impartial.
However, they have placed Mr Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the frontrunner in the general election.
The BJP, the main opposition Congress party and regional rivals battled it out in a fierce campaign over seven phases of polling.
Results will be announced on 4 June.
A party or coalition needs 272 seats in parliament to form a government.
The BJP led-coalition, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), will cross this target – according to exit polls.
If Mr Modi wins, he will be only the second prime minister in India to hold office for three consecutive terms. The first to do so was Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first PM.
