400 Paar? Most Exit Polls Go Wide Off The Mark Again

When the exit polls came out after the last phase of polling on Saturday, an overwhelming majority of them spoke in one voice and also gave the BJP and the NDA an overwhelming majority.

With the BJP seemingly falling short of their "400 paar" claim, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has suggested that if the ruling party fails to secure a clear majority, P Modi should consider withdrawing his candidacy as Prime Minister.

BJP's Arun Govil -- Lord Ram of the hugely popular television serial "Ramayan" -- on Tuesday won the Meerut Lok Sabha seat in his poll debut, the Election Commission data showed.

Registration counters for newly-elected MPs will become operational from 2 PM on Tuesday at the Parliament House complex, the Lok Sabha Secretariat said as the counting of votes progressed.

Andhra Pradesh has witnessed a remarkable turnaround, with Chandrababu Naidu, the veteran leader and former Chief Minister, and his party leading in 16 Lok Sabha and 130 assembly seats.

Uttar Pradesh, which had accounted for a lion's share of the BJP's tally since 2014, has proved to be a tough challenge for the party in the 2024 election.
