As the counting for the much-awaited 2024 Lok Sabha elections is underway, the picture is getting clearer by the hour as to who will gain power in the Centre. With another hour of counting of votes done, the trends suggest a close fight with no clear single party crossing the halfway mark.

The 3 pm trends showed the NDA leading in as many as 288 Lok Sabha constituencies, while the INDIA bloc was ahead on 234 seats. As of 11 am, the NDA was leading in 292 seats, indicating a possible coalition government. By 12 noon, the BJP alone was leading in more than 200 seats, while the opposition Congress had slipped below the 100-seat mark.
