In a dramatic turn of events, the INDIA Bloc on Tuesday staged a remarkable comeback across several key states in the Hindi heartland, as indicated by the latest vote counting trends in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. Uttar Pradesh, with 80 seats at stake, stands as a significant battleground, where the alliance is currently leading in 42 seats. This resurgence is also evident in Rajasthan, Bihar, Haryana, and Jharkhand.
Despite this resurgence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP-led alliance is poised to secure a third consecutive term in power. However, the margin of victory appears narrower than initially anticipated by various exit polls.
