Election
results 2019: Counting of votes to decide the fate of 8,049
candidates is underway. Going by the early leads, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's BJP has crossed the halfway mark on its own.
The
NDA is ahead in more than 300 seats. The BJP is doing well in most
states, including the three heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya
Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, wrested by the Congress in December.
It
is also ahead in Karnataka and Delhi. The Congress is ahead in Punjab
and Tamil Nadu, where it joined hands with the DMK.
Congress
president Rahul Gandhi is trailing in Amethi, a seat Congress has not
lost in the last three decades, except in 1998.
It
will be a huge boost for the BJP
if its candidate Smriti Irani registers a win against the
Congress chief. Gandhi is also contesting from Kerala's Wayanand,
where he is leading.
Elections
were held on 542 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats and a party or alliance
needs 272 seats to form government.
The
BJP is leading on all 26 Lok
Sabha seats in Gujarat, home state of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, as per trends available so far.
Shah
is leading by over 1,30,000 votes in Gandhinagar at the end of second
round of counting.
