Prior to the official election results, the exit polls anticipate a commanding majority for the BJP-led NDA. In five states, namely West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Maharashtra, the BJP is expected to deliver a surprisingly stellar performance, overturning previous regional party strongholds. These regions historically featured dominant regional parties, yet this time, the tables have turned, potentially dashing the hopes of the INDIA block and leading to a significant upset.
India has a total of 543 Lok Sabha seats. According to India Today and Axis My India's exit polls, the NDA could win between 361 to 401 seats this time. In contrast, the INDIA block is expected to secure between 131 to 166 seats. Other parties may earn 8 to 20 seats. Significant poll reversals are anticipated in states like West Bengal, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Maharashtra.

NDA projected to seize a 53% vote share
The exit poll projects NDA's vote share at 53% and the INDIA block's at 4%. YSRCP is visible at 41%. The incredible spike in NDA's numbers may be story of the season, with swings in BJP's favor across the state. If these estimations hold true, it would signify a colossal rewrite of political fortunes, establishing NDA as the dominant force in Andhra Pradesh's political landscape.
