The NDA has taken an early lead as counting for the 542 Lok Sabha constituencies started across the country at 8 am on Tuesday.
Postal votes were the first to be counted.
The BJP-led NDA is eyeing a straight third term whereas the INDIA bloc hopes to stop the Narendra Modi juggernaut. Most of the exit polls have given a comfortable majority to the NDA.
The counting process began under strict security measures, and initial trends suggest that the NDA is ahead in several key constituencies. The BJP, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is looking to secure a historic third consecutive term, with many exit polls predicting a strong performance for the coalition.
The INDIA bloc, a coalition of opposition parties, is aiming to challenge the NDA’s dominance. However, early trends indicate that the BJP and its allies are maintaining a significant lead. This election has seen a high voter turnout, and the results will be keenly watched as they unfold throughout the day.
Stay tuned for further updates as the counting progresses and more detailed results become available.
