According to the News India survey, the NDA government is likely to form a massive majority in India, while the 'INDIA' alliance is expected to be left empty-handed. The survey has stunned many.
The stage is set for the Lok Sabha elections. Voting will commence on April 19th, and with that, the electoral bugle will be sounded. Just before the polling, the results of the survey conducted by the news India Voter were revealed. In this survey, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is predicted to achieve a significant victory in the Lok Sabha elections. The survey suggests that NDA could secure 373 seats, while the opposition 'INDIA' alliance may get 155 seats. There is likely a substantial lead for NDA in central states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, and Odisha. Other parties may have to settle for just 15 seats.
The 'INDIA' alliance seems to fall short of the magical 272 seats required to form the government. Looking at the survey results, it's evident that the NDA could receive 47% of the votes, while the 'INDIA' alliance may secure 40%, and other parties could garner 13%.
The BJP is showing strength in the Hindi belt, while in the south, it faces resistance within the India alliance. Maharashtra and West Bengal present intense competition between the NDA and the India alliance.
How many seats are expected in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra?
According to the survey, in Uttar Pradesh, the largest state in the country, BJP could secure a significant number of seats. The NDA alliance might get 73 seats, while the Congress-SP alliance could secure seven seats. In terms of seats, Maharashtra presents an exciting picture. Out of 48 seats, the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance is projected to win 30 seats. On the other hand, the 'INDIA' alliance, including Congress, NCP, and Shiv Sena (UBTI), may secure 18 seats.
What's the situation in West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar?
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) and BJP are anticipated to face off in a tough contest for West Bengal's 42 seats. The survey suggests that the TMC and BJP could win 20 seats each, while Congress may secure two seats.
Out of Odisha's 21 seats, the BJP and BJD could win 13 and 7 seats, respectively, with one seat possibly going to the Congress. In Jharkhand, out of 14 seats, the NDA might clinch 13 seats, with one seat going to the 'INDIA' alliance.

What's the scenario in Union Territories?
