ALBAWABA - The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has taken the lead in the early vote count in India's general elections on Tuesday.
The vote counting in India's general elections began Tuesday morning, following the conclusion of the seven-phase mega polls, which saw millions of people casting their votes to elect a new ruling party.
In Tuesday's early vote count for India's general elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), has grabbed the lead.
Tuesday morning marked the start of the vote-counting process for the general elections in India. The polls, which consisted of seven phases and millions of voters, were held to choose a new ruling party.
Following the last round of voting, exit polls predicted that the NDA would win over 350 seats while India would receive less than 200.
April 19, April 26, May 7, May 13, May 20, May 25, and June 1 were the dates of the election's seven stages. A heat wave in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh claimed the lives of at least 33 poll workers during the final round.
The commission announced on Monday that 642 million of the 968 million registered voters cast votes during the election, and it added that the vote-counting procedure was "very robust."
Both the BJP and INC have prepared for the day of the vote-counting at their respective offices in the nation's capital, New Delhi.
Sarvesh Dutt Tripathi, who teaches media at a Delhi-based university, told Anadolu Agency that "the exit polls have shown exaggerated results. Looking at the ground situation, there is likely to be an almost equal distribution of seats between the ruling party alliance and opposition parties,".
