The largest democratic exercise has been concluded and the counting of votes has also been done. Take a look at the updates as both the BJP-led NDA and the I.N.D.I. Alliance plans their further course of action. Prime Minister Narendra Modi secured a third term in office on June 4, but with the BJP falling 32 seats short of the 272-seat halfway mark in the Lok Sabha, he will need to rely on allies.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured 291 seats, while the Congress-led INDIA bloc won 234 seats. The Congress improved its performance, winning 99 seats compared to 52 in 2019. The BJP won 240 seats.
