In the Lok Sabha results, PM Modi-led NDA is leading in 296 seats and the INDIA alliance is leading in 233 seats.

This election will have great significance in the history of Indian politics.

Far from its ‘400 Paar’, it seems BJP will have to hold on to a shaky majority in the mercy of its NDA partners.

Here are some major key takeaways from the election results:

Return of regional parties

The regional parties have played major role across five states from Maharashtra to Andhra Pradhesh to Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

Voters Denounce “Modi Wave” – PR Narrative –

Indian voters have completely denounced the BJP’s much-celebrated PR narrative of “Modi wave” in country.

Setback in Hindi heartland

BJP-led NDA faced a major setback in the Hindi heartland. And the performance of INDIA alliance in Uttar Pradesh led by Samajwadi Party will be the defining story of this election.

Return of Congress

The BJP’s target of Congress Mukt Bharat has become even farther out of reach. The party is on the path of “resurgence”. The ‘big rise’ of Rahul Gandhi and the impact of Bharat Jodo yatra too became a major factor in the election.

Voters reject politics of polarisation

The temple politics played by the BJP during the election campaign seems to have not worked. The Ram Temple pitch has not helped the saffron party to make any impact in the electoral battle, especially in the Hindi heartland. The communal campaign spearheaded by PM Modi was completely rejected by the voters.

Rural voters denounce NDA

In seats where the rural population is more than 60%, INDIA bloc’s tally has gone up to 73 while NDA has fallen down to 32.
