Lok Sabha Elections: Kangana Ranaut casts vote, urges people to take part in the 'festival of democracy'

<p>As India's mammoth seven-phase elections drew to a close on Saturday, the nation's major media houses started publishing exit polls data in the evening. Most of them predicted a comfortable win for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with the incumbent bloc securing more than 300 seats, way above the majority mark of 272.</p>

<p>The exit poll data showed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance was all set for a clean sweep victory in almost half a dozen states. Following are the details.</p>

<h2><strong>Uttarakhand</strong></h2>

<p>The VMR Lok Sabha exit polls and Today's Chanakya predicted that BJP was most likely to retain all five seats in the state, meaning the opposition INDIA bloc was in for a major setback here.</p>

<h2><strong>Gujarat</strong></h2>

<p>India-Today Axis My India exit poll gave BJP 25-26 seats in Gujarat, the home state of PM Narendra Modi and a stronghold of his BJP. The exit poll, meanwhile, predicted that the Congress may win one seat in the state in the best case scenario. In the 2019 polls, BJP had secured all 26 Lok Sabha seats in the state.</p>

<h2><strong>Madhya Pradesh</strong></h2>

<p>Today’s Chanakya exit poll claimed the BJP was all set to win all 29 Lok Sabha seats in the state. A similar prediction was given by My Axis exit poll, leaving no room for Congress to open its account in the state. Meanwhile, the News18 Mega Exit Poll estimated BJP may win 25-26 seats in the state.</p>

<h2><strong>Delhi</strong></h2>

<p>The India Today-Axis My India exit poll projected that BJP may retain all seven seats in Delhi. The survey, however, gave 1 seat to the Congress-AAP alliance in the best case scenario. Here, the BJP was likely to secure a whopping 54 per cent vote share.</p>

<h2><strong>Chhattisgarh</strong></h2>

<p>BJP may emerge victorious in the state on 10-11 seats, India Today-Axis My India exit poll showed. The survey revealed the vote share of the party may also increase. Opposition Congress meanwhile may secure just one seat here.</p>

Other parties contesting under I.N.D.I.A., like the Indian National Congress and Samajwadi Party, will have the seats distributed amongst themselves.

<p>Former Indian prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh accused current PM Narendra Modi of indulging in the most vicious form of hate speeches, which are purely divisive in nature. With just one phase of voting left for the Lok Sabha elections, Dr Singh addressed a letter to the voters in the Indian state of Punjab. In the letter, which was shared by the Congress on X on Thursday (May 30), Singh said, "Modi is the first prime minister to lower the dignity of public discourse, and thereby the gravity of the office of the PM.</p>

<p>"No prime minister in the past has uttered such hateful, unparliamentary and coarse terms, meant to target either a specific section of the society or the opposition," Singh said, adding, that Modi attributed false statements to him.</p>

<p>Modi had accused Singh of saying that Muslims have the first right to the country’s resources.</p>

Tudu further said that because TMC was afraid of its impending defeat, it was resorting to such moves to keep the BJP supporters away from the polling booth. "We informed the DM, but no security arrangements were made. CISF jawans have received severe injuries on the head and I have been hit on the head. The window panes of our vehicle have been damaged. We have come to file FIR and reported to EC. If TMC feels we are frightened then they are wrong. They know that they will get defeated so they are trying to keep BJP supporters away from the booth. They are doing the same in many booths," he added. (With inputs from agencies)

Jammu & Kashmir Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Dates, schedule, phases, seats, candidates, all you need to know

<p>The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday (May 25) released the constituency-wise voting data from the first five phases of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This comes amid a public discourse over the lack of official voter turnout data.</p>

<p>Coming out with the data, the ECI asserted that there was a pattern in the creation of false narratives, and that it was done with the mischievous design to destroy the legal validity of the electoral process. The electoral agency also asserted that the alteration of the number of votes polled was not possible.</p>

<h2><strong>Why did the ECI release data now?</strong></h2>

<p>The poll panel has come out with the absolute number of voters on its own. This comes a day after the Supreme Court of India refused to issue directions to ECI on the plea of an NGO&nbsp;— Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) — seeking polling booth-wise voter turnout data.</p>

<p>As per the PTI news agency, the ECI said it has decided to further expand the format of turnout data to include the absolute number of voters in every parliamentary constituency.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The absolute numbers are discernable parliamentary constituency-wise by all citizens by applying the turnout percentage to total electors, both already made available in the public domain, said the poll panel.</p>

<p>Here electors are those who are part of the electoral roll and eligible to voters and 'voters' refers to those that have actually cast their vote in an election.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the EC had been issuing turnout percentage, there had been demands to make public the actual number of voters in every phase.</p>

<p>Previously, the Election Commission, hitting out at the plea of the petitioner, had said there are "certain elements with vested interests" who keep throwing baseless and false allegations, "creating an unwarranted atmosphere of suspicion" to discredit the Election Commission of India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is most humbly submitted that there is a consistent malafide campaign/design/efforts to keep on raising suspicion and doubt in every possible manner and by misleading assertions and baseless," it added.</p>

Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Date, Schedule: Andhra Pradesh, famous for its strong local sentiments and political landscape, has historically been a challenge for national parties during Lok Sabha elections.

Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Date, Schedule: Andhra Pradesh, famous for its strong local sentiments and political landscape, has historically been a challenge for national parties during Lok Sabha elections. With a significant impact on national politics, the state has seen shifts in political equations, especially with swing votes playing a crucial role. Past elections and scenario now In the 2004 and 2009 Lok Sabha Elections, Andhra Pradesh was important for the Congress to come to power at the Centre. Despite winning only two seats in the state in 2014 and none in 2019, the BJP formed the government. The 2024 elections might be a little different as I.N.D.I.A alliance, led by the Congress includes many local parties from the state. Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Number of Lok Sabha seats that Andhra Pradesh has is 25, making it the 9th largest state in terms of parliamentary representation. Among these, four seats are reserved for SC candidates and one for ST candidates. In the 2019 elections, the YSR Congress Party emerged as the dominant force, winning 22 out of the 25 seats, while both the BJP and INC did not secure any seats. Andhra Pradesh is usually one of the first states to start voting in Lok Sabha Elections, as was the case in 2019. However, according to the Election Commission of India (ECI), the 18th Lok Sabha elections for all 25 seats in Andhra Pradesh will take place in phase four, on May 13, 2024.
