Lok Sabha elections 2024 result: Nitish Kumar and
Chandrababu Naidu have emerged as the ‘kingmakers’ of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 as their victories in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh are set to play a key role in the formation of the Narendra Modi government.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which failed to repeat its 2019’s massive victory of 303 seats, will likely have to trade favours with Nitish and Naidu to reach the 272 majority mark needed to form the government.
Narendra Modi met with President Droupadi Murmu earlier today and tendered his resignation, ahead of the ceremony on Saturday.
NDA, INDIA over all tally
Overall, the BJP-led coalition has 292 seats, while the Congress-led Opposition has 234 seats. With the humbling verdict for the BJP, NDA partners Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu’s Janata Dal (United) and Telugu Desam Party will step in with their 12 and 16 Lok Sabha seats respectively to help the coalition reach the magic figure.
“We are with the NDA, I will be attending the meeting in Delhi today,” Naidu said ahead of the NDA meeting in Delhi today.
