Modi Magic: A detailed report on his historic win

In a stunning electoral showing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the BJP to a historic victory in the Lok Sabha polls, with the ruling party itself set to win 300 seats in a marked improvement over its 2014 showing that left the opposition dazed and demoralized. The NDA could end up with 348 of the 542 Lok Sabha seats.

Such was the force of the BJP wave that even Congress President Rahul Gandhi lost in his bastion of Amethi to Smriti Irani, but in consolation prize won the Wayanad seat in Kerala.
