Election Results 2024 Live Updates: Will NDA achieve its 400-seat target or will INDIA bloc defy the exit polls
With a few hours to go for the counting of votes to start, all eyes are on whether the exit poll predictions will hold ground — the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government coming back to power with thumping majority. While the Opposition’s INDIA bloc has rubbished the exit polls, the BJP is confident of easily crossing the majority-mark, even planning out how they want to celebrate the landmark victory.
What did the Exit Polls predict?
All major exit polls have projected a resounding victory for the NDA with the BJP expected to better its own 2019 tally of 303 seats. In their overall projection, India-Today-My Axis poll and Today’s Chanakya projected the NDA tally to be over 400 seats. ABP-CVoter gave them 353-383 seats while Jan Ki Baat estimated the ruling alliance may win between 362 seats and 392 seats.
INDIA bloc leaders raising doubts over the electronic voting machines (EVMs)
INDIA bloc leaders, who have been raising doubts over the electronic voting machines (EVMs), have accused the prime minister of sending a signal to the bureaucracy through these “fantasy” exit polls and marched to the EC, urging the poll watchdog to follow the counting guidelines.
In its counter-attack, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused its rivals of trying to undermine the integrity of India’s electoral process and asked the EC to prevent any attempt of “violence and unrest” during the counting of votes.
