Election Results 2024: The BJP-led NDA won 292 seats and prevailed over the Opposition alliance - INDIA, which bagged 232 seats. The BJP's Uttar Pradesh dominance, however, faced a tough challenge from the INDIA bloc. The contest between the BJP and INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha polls is a reflection of a broader ideological battle.
Poll Pundits had predicted a third term for PM Narendra Modi. But the INDIA bloc has put up a strong fight, defying predictions.
The BJP's campaign was led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The party's biggest star campaigner, PM Modi, participated in over 200 public meetings, including rallies and roadshows. The INDIA bloc's campaign featured joint rallies by Opposition leaders.
The counting of votes started at 8 am amid tight security. The counting of EVM votes started 30 minutes after the postal ballot count. This year's Lok Sabha election was the second-longest since India's first election in 1951-52. Any party or coalition needs a majority of 272 seats to form the government.
Here Are The Highlights Of Lok Sabha Elections Results 2024:

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the BJP's below-expectation performance in the Lok Sabha polls was the outcome of its hate politics in the last 10 years and its "false" promises to the people, reported news agency PTI.

"We have publicly taken a stand that we will stop BJP," he said and claimed that the people were fed up with the BJP's politics of hatred, the youth were disappointed with unemployment in the country, and that the farmers were also upset.
"The verdict has come, and if Modi ji forms the government now, then he has to come to Parliament with the support of allies. It will be a good scene to watch," he said.

Election Result LIVE: "Will Certainly Help INDIA..." Says Mamata Banerjee As Bloc Pegs Back BJP
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has seen off a forceful challenge by the BJP for majority control of the state's 42 Lok Sabha seats and offered cautious support to the INDIA bloc, which today chucked an outsized spanner in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'abki baar, 400 paar' plans.
The amicable reference to the INDIA group - of which her Trinamool is still (formally) a member, despite January's acrimonious end to seat-share talks with the Congress - is an echo of remarks from last month, when she spoke of "outside support" if the opposition bloc were to win the poll.
"I will certainly help INDIA... I have many friends and will try to see Modi is out," she said this evening, after 11 hours of vote-counting left the BJP just 20 seats over the majority mark of 272.

"Did you see what happened in the share market? BJP and Modi ji have so much pride. He threatened everyone - all leaders, MLAs, and councillors in our state. He even sent money. Despite that, INDIA won and Modi lost. Even in Ayodhya, they lost. The PM lost in postal ballots too," she said, adding, "It's all the people's work, not ours.
