LS Polls: Counting Set For Tuesday Amid Exit Polls Predicting PM Modi’s Third Term

With the counting of votes for all seven phases of the Lok Sabha elections scheduled for Tuesday, anticipation is mounting to see if the Exit Poll projections align with the actual results. Many pollsters have forecast a third consecutive term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, making it a focal point of discussions. Should he secure another term, Modi would match the historical feat of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who remains the only leader to be elected as PM for three consecutive terms.

Exit Polls have predicted a strong performance by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a setback for the opposition’s INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha elections. Approximately seven Exit Polls have projected around 350-370 seats for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the 543-member Lok Sabha. They also indicated that the INDIA bloc might secure around 107-140 seats, falling significantly short of the majority mark of 272 seats.

The Exit Poll findings were released on Saturday evening, immediately after the conclusion of the seventh and final phase of polling. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have expressed confidence that the party-led NDA will achieve a historic victory by securing more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha.

Meanwhile, the Congress is asserting that the INDIA bloc, a coalition of over 25 opposition parties, is poised to secure victory in the elections with more than 295 seats. Opposition parties have instructed their counting agents to closely oversee the vote-counting process on Tuesday, emphasising the importance of obtaining Form 17C, which includes the tally of votes registered at each polling station.
