Opposition's Villain Is Congress, Could Not Lead The Alliance: Sanjay Pugalia
The exit poll numbers are in and the apparent mandate is a Modi 3.0 term. NDTV Editor In Chief claims Congress's language of anguish and grievance lost against BJP's language of aspiration. He is joined by experts Arti R Jerath and Sanjay Kumar at the NDTV poll of polls to decode what the numbers may indicate for the final result on June 4th.
The exit polls predict a historic third term for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Only one, though, has carried the NDA across its dream score of 400 of 543 Lok Sabha seats. The BJP, too, has been placed far short of its 370-seat target. The INDIA bloc, five exit polls predicted, will fall massively short of the 285 seats predicted by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge this evening.
An aggregate of seven exit polls indicates that the NDA will get 361 seats, the INDIA bloc will get 145 seats. The BJP's individual score will be 311 seats and the Congress 63, up from the 52 seats it won in the last general election.
