Opinion: The Electoral Math Of INDIA vs NDA
NDTV
The contest for 2024 is heating up as the Congress and the BJP both finalising their alliances. A 26-party consortium named "INDIA" is set to compete with a 38-party NDA, offering voters an option they didn't have in 2019. The presence of the Congress in "INDIA" lends stability to the opposition alliance, and the reassures voters that, given a chance, they can complete a full five-year term.
What Does The Math Look Like?
The UPA, in its earlier avatar in 2019, bagged 91 seats with a 27% vote share. The rebranded INDIA has 144 MPs in the 545-member Lok Sabha with a 37.5% vote share. On the other hand, the NDA won 353 seats with a 45% vote share. Changes like the exit of the Janata Dal (United) and Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena, and the entry of Ajit Pawar's NCP faction, bring down that tally to 332 seats with a 42.9% vote share. The mammoth 18% lead enjoyed by the NDA shrinks.
