The Bharatiya Janata Party is eyeing a hat-trick in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 with its "400 paar" slogan while the Opposition's I.N.D.I.A bloc remains firm on its claim of bagging more than 295 seats. While most pollsters have predicted a comfortable win for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, a lot is at stake for the ruling alliance in terms of the scale of victory that it can achieve and new territories that it can conquer.
The Lok Sabha election results 2024 will also hold a mirror to the newly formed I.N.D.I.A wherein over 40 opposition parties including Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress among others and led by Congress party joined to forces to take on the BJP's might.
Simultaneous elections to Odisha Assembly were also held where BJP campaigned hard against the ruling Biju Janata Dal which has been in power since 2000 under Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. Assembly elections were also held in YSRCP-led Andhra Pradesh and two Northeastern states of Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.
