NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP will win mandate for a third straight term, winning 304 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections on its own, according to an opinion survey conducted by a media house.
The Mood of the Nation opinion poll by India Today, in its February 2024 edition, has predicted 335 seats for the BJP-led NDA, which is comfortably above the majority mark of 272. However, the prediction falls short of PM Modi’s ambitious target of 400 seats for NDA and 370 for BJP in the 2024 general election.
Interestingly, the survey predicted 304 seats for BJP in the coming election, which is just one higher than the party’s 2019 tally of 303. However, NDA’s overall seat share will be 18 short of its 2019 tally of 353, the survey predicted.
Meanwhile, the opposition bloc INDIA, which also includes Congress, is predicted to clinch 166 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
The predictions suggest that the anti-BJP front will fall enormously short of the numbers required to challenge PM Modi.
Notably, the survey predicted 71 seats for Congress in the coming elections. If the predictions hold true, it will be a marked improvement for the grand old party compared to its previous two tallies of 52 (2019) and 44 (2014).
The survey also predicted that BJP will see a huge bump in its 2024 vote share, securing 40% of the total votes compared to 31% in 2019.
Congress will grab 19% of the ballot, which is more or less similar to its previous figure of 19.3%, according to the survey.
Lok Sabha elections are due in April-May this year. PM Modi is confident of securing a third term in office, saying that the nation has already made up its mind.
