The 2024 Lok Sabha Election results came as a shocker for the NDA and particularly the BJP, which got just 240 seats compared to 303 in 2019 and 282 in 2014.
On the other hand, Congress bagged 99 seats this time up from 44 in 2014 and 52 in 2019. Congress ally Samajwadi Party, which won just five constituencies in the previous two elections, increased their seat share to 37.
BJP's biggest ally TDP gained 16 seats in 2024 maintaining the same number as in 2014 after dropping to just three in 2019.
Overall, BJP is down by 63 constituencies with a 21 per cent fall in seat share and vote percentage dipping by -0.77 per cent. Congress constituencies surged by 47 seats with 90 per cent leap in seat share and vote percentage increasing by 1.72 per cent.
One of the biggest surprises was BJP's maiden Lok Sabha win in Kerala's Thrissur where actor Suresh Gopi beat Congress and CPM stalwarts. In Karnataka's Hassan, Prajwal Revanna, who is accused of sexually harassing women, lost in the JDS family bastion, the first time the Deve Gowda-headed party lost in the seat in several decades.
NDA won most of the seats in Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha and assembly. BJP performed well in Odisha Lok Sabha and assembly polls, unseating five-time Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. But it failed to make inroads in West Bengal and lost much of its seats in Uttar Pradesh and Maharshtra. BJP drew a blank in Tamil Nadu this time too while Congress saw zero seats in Madhya Pradesh.
Phase 1 – April 19
In Phase 1, out of the 102 seats that witnessed Lok Sabha elections on April 19, BJP secured 30 seats compared to 40 in 2019. On the other hand, Congress seats increased from 15 to 27 seats.
