Where Does Each Alliance Stand?
As per the win tally from the Election Commission of India, the NDA alliance has a total of 291 votes whereas the INDIA bloc has a total of 234 votes.
Modi Claims NDA Victory
Incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP has recieved the highest amount of votes but despite the party's "400 paar" and confidence throughout the election campaigning, the BJP fell short of a majority.
Amid the results, Narendra Modi thanked NDA supporters for their vote and staked their claim on forming the government for the third consecutive term. However, unlike the 2019 elections, the BJP did not reach the majority mark on its own and would now need the help of its allies to mark an official victory for NDA alliance.
With the votes of key allies such as N Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Nitish Kumar's JD(U) and alliance partners, the NDA alliance crossed the halfway mark.
INDIA Fights Back
On the other hand, the INDIA alliance outperformed in this general elections and secured unexpected leads across India such as in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, where the opposition bloc defeated BJP's NDA.
The INDIA Bloc, which was formed in June 2023, can now serve as a strong opposition in the Lok Sabha and may even stake its claim at forming the next government.
As INDIA blocked the the BJP's "400 paar" goal, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated that the results of the general elections show that the "people do not want Modi to return".
"People have unanimously stated that we do not want Narendra Modi, Amit Shah to run the country," stated Rahul Gandhi at a press conference in New Delhi after the INDIA bloc recorded unexpected wins.
