Performing much better than what the exit polls had predicted, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) rode on a massive Modi wave sweeping through most parts of India and is leading on 341 seats – five seats more than its tally of 2014 general elections.
The official trends available for all the 542 Lok Sabha seats show the BJP alone leading on 292 seats, crossing the majority figure of 272, while the Congress trailing far behind with 51.
If the trends stay until final results, the BJP would have improved on its 2014 performance when it had won 282 seats on its own in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
The results are a resounding endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity, his government's achievements in the last five years and his campaign, which centred around national security and nationalism. He also relentlessly attacked the Congress Party for what he called its dynastic legacy, and blamed it for the country's woes. The opposition had criticised the BJP campaign as divisive and polarising.
Still, the trend shows that the Modi wave has swept across geographies, caste lines, age, gender and economic status.
