The 2024 Lok Sabha elections witness the BJP racing ahead of the Opposition alliance – INDIA, as voting unfolds across the nation. With ambitious targets set, the BJP aims for 370 seats while the NDA eyes 400. Poll pundits predict a third term for PM Narendra Modi, amidst Congress’s struggle and defections within the Opposition.
The battle for India’s political helm intensifies as parties and coalitions vie for the majority mark of 272 seats. This year’s election, the second-longest in India’s electoral history since its inception in 1951-52, underscores the gravity of the contest.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spearheads the BJP’s campaign, rallying across the country with over 200 public engagements. Conversely, the INDIA alliance presents a united front against the BJP, featuring joint rallies by opposition leaders.
As the nation awaits the verdict, preliminary results trickle in. In Bihar, the NDA leads with 29 seats, leaving the INDIA alliance trailing behind with 9.
In the capital, Delhi, the BJP maintains its dominance, leading in six out of seven Lok Sabha seats, a stronghold it has upheld since 2014. The AAP makes headway in one seat, amidst a landscape increasingly shaped by ideological battles and political shifts.
