The results of the 2024 Lok Sabha election came as a huge surprise, entirely overturning the Exit Poll results. The saffron camp's "400-paar" slogan turned into a nightmare as the ruling party is still struggling to gain 300 votes. Voter trends showed that the BJP-led NDA was not doing well, and several BJP leaders and Union Ministers, including Smriti Irani, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Ajai Mishra Teni, and Arjun Munda, were trailing behind.

In Maharashtra's 2024 Lok Sabha election, the INDIA bloc led on 26 seats, while the NDA was ahead on 21 of the 48 total seats. Key candidates include Piyush Goyal leading in Mumbai North and Supriya Sule in Baramati. The exit polls, favoring NDA, are being disproven by current trends.

BJP's Kangana Ranaut leads by 65,807 votes in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, and jibes at Congress rival Vikramaditya Singh, who had mocked her. She vows to stay and serve her 'janmabhoomi,' supporting PM Modi's goals. The actor-turned-politician's lead reflects strong local support amid a 48.6% voter turnout.

Exit polls project NDA's repeat victory in Bihar, with BJP likely winning 13-15 seats. Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughters, Misa Bharti and Rohini Acharya, contest from Pataliputra and Saran, respectively. One daughter has an advantage, the other trails. NDA is predicted to win 350 seats nationally, ensuring Modi's third term.

BJP President JP Nadda accused Arvind Kejriwal of deceit and Rahul Gandhi of collaborating with anti-India forces. Nadda criticized Kejriwal for lying and emotionally manipulating people, labeling him an anarchist and urban naxal sympathizer. He predicted their downfall in Delhi and Punjab polls.
