Elections results Live: Exit polls unanimously indicate a notable improvement in the NDA's performance in the South.
Votes are being counted for the world's largest elections today. The Lok Sabha elections saw polling in seven phases that began on April 19 and concluded on June 1. The elections are expected to be a fierce contest between the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition bloc, INDIA. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a historic third term, while the INDIA bloc aims to secure a majority in the Lok Sabha by consolidating the seats won by its member parties.
Exit polls unanimously indicate a notable improvement in the NDA's performance in the South.
In Andhra Pradesh, analysts predict that the NDA's alliance with Chandrababu Naidu has proven fruitful, projecting an expected victory in 18 out of the state's 25 seats.
Similarly, in Karnataka, the BJP is anticipated to secure a significant majority despite the state's historical inclination towards the Congress. In Telangana, exit polls suggest that the Congress might struggle to capitalise on its previous assembly poll victory, with the BJP poised to secure over half of the state's 17 seats following the decline of K Chandrasekhar Rao's Bharat Rashtra Samithi.
