EFSAS comments on the ongoing 2024 General Elections being held in India
May 31, 2024
As the long-drawn-out Lok Sabha elections trundle towards the seventh and final phase on 1 June, the BJP continues to insist that it is headed for a party tally of 370 seats or more out of the total of 543, and a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) tally of ‘400 paar’ (above 400). The BJP is at the helm of the NDA. On the other hand, a growing crescendo of opposition voices are predicting that the BJP will fail to get a majority (273), let alone win nearly 100 seats more than that. The opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) coalition of over two dozen political parties is insisting that it will gain a thumping majority of its own.
