Lok Sabha Election Results 2024: The counting of votes is underway for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, which will determine who will form the government at the Centre. The elections were held in seven phases from April 19 to June 1, and the counting of votes started on June 4.
The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, contested the polls, while the Opposition formed a joint front, Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), to challenge the Modi government's 10-year reign.
Major exit polls have forecasted a substantial majority for the NDA, with the BJP expected to surpass its 2019 tally of 303 seats. This optimism has been reflected in the domestic equity indices, which opened at record highs on June 3, driven by the projected return of the NDA government and a better-than-expected FY24 GDP growth rate of 8.2 per cent.
The Opposition's INDIA bloc, led by the Congress, has dismissed the exit polls, but the BJP remains optimistic about its performance, particularly in the South, where it is expected to make significant gains in states like Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu.
