Together with its allies, it had 353 seats 5 years back, offering it a massive bulk. Before this election, Modi’s objective was to increase this bulk to more than 400 seats. This frustrating triumph stopped working to emerge.
Rather, the opposition camp under the management of the Congress Celebration made unexpected gains. The Congress Celebration nearly doubled its variety of seats compared to the last election in 2019 – from 52 to 99 seats – and stays the second-strongest force. According to regional media, its opposition alliance won an overall of 234 seats.
