Is BJP Losing Control? Regional Rivals Shift Electoral Dynamics, Raising Questions
As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections come to an end, big surveys by top media say the BJP-led NDA is likely to win big. It seems PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Abki Baar 400 Paar’ slogan could come true, beating their last win in 2019.
India TV-CNX Exit Polls and other surveys have predicted that the NDA, led by the BJP, is likely to win big in the elections. It means that the BJP could win a lot of seats on its own.
These predictions come after a tough election season where millions of people voted in multiple rounds across India.
In the previous Lok Sabha elections, held in 2019, the NDA secured a decisive victory, clinching 353 seats out of the 543-member lower house of parliament. The BJP alone won 303 seats, while its principal rival, the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), managed to secure only 91 seats.
These exit poll projections suggest a continuation of the BJP’s dominance in Indian politics under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Key leaders from various political parties have reacted to the exit poll results, with some expressing confidence in their respective alliances’ performance.
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan predicted that the BJP, along with the NDA, would comfortably cross the 400-seat mark, with the BJP alone expected to secure around 370 seats.
While the official results are scheduled to be announced on June 4, the exit poll predictions have set the stage for intense anticipation and speculation across the political spectrum. The final outcome will determine the composition of the 18th Lok Sabha and the direction of India’s political landscape for the coming years.
Experts have noticed big changes in some states during the elections. States like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Maharashtra are really important because they have a lot of seats in the Lok Sabha. These states have seen very close fights between different parties trying to win.
Additionally, new political groups and partnerships have appeared in various states, making the election scene more complicated.
Local parties like the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, the Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, and the YSR Congress Party in Andhra Pradesh are trying to become more influential, competing with the bigger national parties.
As the nation eagerly awaits the official declaration of results from the Election Commission of India, stay tuned for more updates, analysis, and reactions from across the political spectrum.
