INDIA bloc confident of winning 295 Seats

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge expressed confidence that the Opposition alliance, INDIA bloc, will win more than 295 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. After a meeting with INDIA bloc parties, Kharge stated, "INDIA bloc will win at least 295 seats in the elections...it will be over that, but not less. We have analysed after discussing with all the leaders, and there is no doubt in the number...this is people's survey, based on the information given by people."

PTI PTI

Kharge emphasized the alliance's commitment to presenting the truth to the people against the BJP's narrative. "Government survey also happens, they (BJP) have many ways to create surveys and media also highlights their chunks," he said. "We have decided to participate in exit poll debates. We want to take the truth to people, against the narrative they (BJP) are trying to present."

Previously, the Congress party had announced its decision not to participate in exit poll debates, calling them "speculation and slugfest for TRP." On the question of unity within the alliance, Kharge affirmed, "We are united, and we will remain united. Don't try to divide us."

Most exit polls forecast BJP-led NDA winning over 350 seats

After a marathon six-week-long Lok Sabha election in 2024, the second longest general election since 1951-52, the exit polls are in. Six exit polls predict a significant victory for the ruling BJP-led NDA. The forecasts are as follows: Republic Bharat-P Marq (359 seats), India News-D-Dyanamics (371 seats), Republic Bharat-Matrize (353-368 seats), Dainik Bhaskar (281-350 seats), News Nation (342-378 seats), and Jan Ki Baat (362-392 seats).

The exit polls also indicate NDA dominance in Karnataka and Maharashtra, and a significant defeat for the Left-led alliance in Kerala. In West Bengal, the BJP is expected to perform better than it did in the last election, where it secured 22 seats. At least three exit polls suggest that the BJP will now be the single-largest party in Bengal in terms of Lok Sabha seats.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 73, and his party, BJP, are widely expected to secure a third consecutive term. The Congress, weakened by election losses and defections, is part of the Opposition bloc INDIA, which is challenging the BJP.

Earlier phases of Lok Sabha polls 2024

Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted over 200 campaign events, including rallies and roadshows, in 75 days during the seven-phased Lok Sabha elections. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held more than 100 rallies and public interaction programs such as Nyay Sammelans and Nyay Manch.

In the 2019 elections, the BJP won 303 seats, with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) securing a total of 352. The Congress obtained 52 seats, and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) amassed 91 seats.

This time, the BJP has set a target of 370 seats, aiming to surpass the 400 mark with the help of its allies. The Lower House of Parliament consists of 543 seats, with the majority mark being 272.
