Lok Sabha Election Results 2024 Live: A day before the results of the Lok Sabha elections are out, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, while countering the “laapata gentlemen” claims against the Election Commission said that they were never out. “We chose to communicate through our press notes, of which over 100 were issued during polling,” he said.
What to expect from the results tomorrow? With less than 24 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.
