2019 General Elections

Election Results 2024: However, even after a single-digit performance, Congress leaders are happy that they could take back 9 seats won by the BJP in the 2019 General Election.

In 2019, the BJP secured a resounding victory in Uttar Pradesh, capturing 62 out of 80 seats. However, in the latest elections, the party experienced a significant reduction in its seat tally, managing to secure only 33 seats.

Women candidates such as Congress' Kumari Selja, the BJP's Kangana Ranaut and Hema Malini, Samajwadi Party's Dimple Yadav and RJD's Misa Bharti won in their respective constituencies in the general elections.

There are six battleground states in the 2024 election accounting for 259 seats - almost half of the Lok Sabha strength. In 2019, the NDA won 196 of these seats.

Over Rs 1,150 crore in cash and jewellery have been seized by the Income Tax Department, during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, sources said on Friday. This marks an 182% increase compared to the Rs 390 crore seized during the last general elections

The coming general election may throw some surprising results in Uttar Pradesh with the SP-BSP alliance now replaced by the SP-Congress pact under the INDIA bloc.

The Election Commission has cited security as a reason for its inability to conduct assembly polls with Lok Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir. The poll panel has literally repeated what it had said in 2019 when general elections were announced.

A large number of late deciders and a small share of 'loyal' voters, coupled with a focus on local candidates, can often alter the final outcome.

The Citizenship Amendment Act - passed by Parliament in 2019 and notified by the government Monday, to come into effect weeks before the general election - have triggered a back-and-forth with the opposition accusing the BJP of polarising voters.

Rahul Gandhi had lost the prized seat of Amethi to BJP's Smriti Irani in the 2019 general elections.

The "Lok Sabha Prabharis", appointed "exclusively" for next year's general elections, have been given a headstart to prevent "any last-minute challenges", said one of the seven in-charges. The BJP won all the seven seats in the 2014 and 2019 polls.
