After a marathon six-week, seven-phase voting, results were declared yesterday for the Lok Sabha elections 2024. The BJP-led NDA won 292 seats and prevailed over the Opposition alliance – INDIA, which bagged 232 seats. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take oath on Saturday evening (June 8).
Both NDA and INDIA bloc will be holding key meeting today on the way forward. The contest between the BJP and INDIA alliance is a reflection of a broader ideological battle.
PM Modi has called the poll results a “victory of the world’s largest democracy”.
The BJP had set itself an ambitious target of 370 seats (400+ including NDA partners), but they were pegged back by the opposition alliance – the Congress-led INDIA bloc. The opposition has 232 seats after a stellar performance that saw it defy exit pollsters and slash the BJP’s advantage in key states.
