2024 Lok Sabha Elections RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS: NDA set to form government for a third consecutive term
"People have placed their faith in NDA, for a third consecutive time! This is a historical feat in India’s history," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his first message after the results on Tuesday.
CHENNAI: The saffron party's poll outcome was overshadowed by the resurgent opposition which restricted the right-wing party to far below the majority mark of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha. The BJP-led NDA, however, is expected to cross the magic figure comfortably; it is expected to win about 240 seats against the 303 it had won in 2019.
"People have placed their faith in NDA, for a third consecutive time! This is a historical feat in India’s history," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his first message after the results on Tuesday.
The party is expected to reflect on what caused the sharp fall in its numbers.
Modi will now have to for the first time navigate the uncertainties of a coalition government and the demands of allies. With the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance projected to be above the 290 mark against the majority tally of 272, he is expected to head the new government in which allies will matter more than ever.

LOK SABHA ELECTIONS 2024: QUICK FACTS AT A GLANCE:
Will the BJP actually manage to fulfill its target of ‘Abki baar 400 paar’ (this time we will cross 400 seats)?
Will the INDIA opposition alliance get the 295 seats that Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and its star campaigner Rahul Gandhi claim it will win in the 543-member Lok Sabha? (the halfway mark is 272 seats). We will have to wait and watch.
The results are also expected to spell out the people's verdict on the fate of regional stalwarts like Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray, whose parties have joined hands with the BJP.
The verdict will also be out on a number of Union ministers, including Piyush Goyal, Bhupender Yadav, Sarbananda Sonowal and Dharmendra Pradhan, all Rajya Sabha members asked by the BJP to contest the polls, and former chief ministers, such as the BJP's Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Basavaraj Bommai, Trivendra Singh Rawat and the Congress's Digvijay Singh and Bhupesh Baghel.
