As the nation eagerly awaits the final results of the general elections, exit polls have overwhelmingly predicted a third consecutive term for the BJP-led NDA alliance. However, a contrasting perspective has emerged from the DB Live survey, casting a shadow over the certainty of the NDA’s victory.
According to the DB Live survey, the NDA is expected to secure between 215 and 245 seats out of the total 543 in the Lok Sabha. This figure falls short of the majority mark, suggesting a potential struggle for the NDA. On the other hand, the INDIA Alliance is projected to win 260 to 290 seats, indicating a possible lead over the NDA. Additionally, the survey results predict that other parties and independent candidates will claim between 28 and 48 seats.
Key State Projections
Bihar
In Bihar, the DB Live survey forecasts a significant setback for the NDA alliance, predicting only 14 to 16 seats. Conversely, the India Alliance is expected to secure a strong foothold with 24 to 26 seats.
Karnataka
The survey indicates a favorable outcome for the Congress in Karnataka, with a projection of 18 to 20 seats. The BJP-JDS alliance, on the other hand, is anticipated to win 8 to 10 seats.
Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh, a critical battleground, shows a close contest. The NDA is predicted to win 46 to 48 seats, while the India Alliance is expected to garner 32 to 34 seats.
National Implications
The DB Live survey’s findings starkly contrast the predominantly one-sided exit polls favoring the NDA, thereby heightening the suspense leading up to the official results. The divergent predictions underscore the complexity and unpredictability of this election cycle.
