New Delhi [India], May 20 (ANI): After over a month-long gruelling campaign, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in a celebratory mood, as the majority of exit polls are showing 'Modi Sarkar 2.0' and that too with a massive mandate.
The BJP has a tradition of making arrangements for media on the result day. It provides a separate cabin to every news channel. The tent work is going on in the BJP headquarters with more than 30 cabins to be built inside there.
BJP is expecting more than 300 seats, thus BJP led NDA forming government at the Centre again.
If the exit polls turn out to be a reality, then this will be the first time in the history of BJP when it gets a consecutive victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
The exit polls on television channels have projected BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to retain power at the Centre with most of the pollsters giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi a clear majority again in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
