Lok Sabha election 2024 results: The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance is leading in as many as 288 Lok Sabha constituencies, several TV media reports said on Tuesday.
The Congress-led INDIA bloc is ahead on 234 seats. The data available on the Election Commission’s website showed that Congress, by itself, is ahead on 98 seats. If these trends solidify into the final outcome, the development would be a major boost for the main Opposition party, which only secured 52 seats in the 2019 polls.
The ruling BJP, which had set an ambitious goal of 370 mark for itself, is leading on 237 seats and may not be able to cross the threshold of 272 majority mark by itself.
