BJP wins 303 seats, Congress settles for 52 seats

Creating electoral histories seems to have become a norm for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under the leadership of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.

After securing a bigger mandate in Lok Sabha election 2019 than 2014, the Election Commission (EC) on Friday May 24,2019 officially declared that the BJP has secured 303 seats in the poll. Decimating the opposition, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) bagged 354 seats in the 17th Lok Sabha.

It was BJP's second consecutive absolute majority in Lok Sabha election under Narendra Modi's leadership.

The saffron party has surpassed its 2014 General election performance when it won 282 seats with the NDA securing 336.

Narendra Modi is the first non-Congress prime minister to come back to power with a majority for the second time after Indira Gandhi in 1971.

The BJP swept all votes in 8 states and one Union Territory -
  1. Arunachal Pradesh
  2. Gujarat
  3. Haryana
  4. Himachal Pradesh
  5. Rajasthan
  6. Tripura
  7. Uttarakhand
  8. Delhi 
and over 50 per cent votes in Chandigarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
