Exit polls predict Modi 2.0, say BJP will repeat 2014 performance

The BJP-led alliance, the exit polls said, would also do well in Bihar and improve significantly from the two seats it had won in West Bengal in 2014 and the one seat it had won in Odisha in 2014

Polling for the seventh and final phase of Lok Sabha (LS) elections 2019 ended on Sunday evening, with most exit polls predicting the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) phir ek baar Modi sarkar, or ‘once more Modi government’ slogan likely to get vindicated on the counting day on Thursday (May 23). 

Most of the polls predicted a return of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). They said the BJP would either repeat its 2014 performance of achieving a simple majority on its own, or at worst, along with its NDA allies, and might not need to look beyond its current allies
