Announcement of Lok Sabha Election 2024 dates has sparked a surge in political activities. All parties have intensified their preparations. It is noteworthy that this time the direct contest will be between the NDA and the India Alliance. The elections will be held in 7 phases, with results declared on June 4, 2024. Additionally, assembly elections are scheduled in 4 states: Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh. Elections in Andhra Pradesh will take place on May 13, in Sikkim on April 19, and in Arunachal Pradesh on April 19 as well. Meanwhile, in Odisha, assembly elections will be conducted in 4 phases.
The announcement of election dates has kickstarted preparations among all political parties. This election holds significant importance on several fronts. The biggest question is whether the BJP will achieve a hat-trick victory this time? And if so, what impact will it have on Rahul Gandhi’s political career? Will Rahul Gandhi’s political career come to an end? Meanwhile, some channels have already released surveys even before the Lok Sabha elections. Let’s find out what the surveys say about the Lok Sabha elections. Besides this, discussions are underway on many other issues.
Network18 Mega Opinion Poll
According to the Network18 Mega Opinion Poll, out of the 543-member Lok Sabha, 411 seats could be won, with a record 350 seats projected for the BJP. The remaining components of the NDA, including the Janata Dal (United) and the Telugu Desam Party, could win 61 seats collectively, as per the opinion poll. However, it’s bad news for the India Alliance. According to the Network18 Mega Opinion Poll, the opposition coalition, India, a united front comprising major non-BJP parties including the Congress, could collectively secure 105 seats in the lower house. Congress alone may be restricted to just 49 seats, marking its second-worst performance in Lok Sabha elections after its historic low of 44 seats in 2014. It’s worth noting that the survey conducted from February 12 to March 1 included 21 major states of India, covering 95% of all Lok Sabha constituencies, making it one of the largest surveys in the country.
Zee News-Matrize Opinion Poll
The opinion poll conducted by Zee News Matrize has been released. This opinion poll was conducted between February 27 and March 13. In this survey, the public’s opinions were taken into account. According to the Zee News Matrize opinion poll, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) could secure 390 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, while the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) could get an estimated 96 seats and about 57 seats could go to other parties. It suggests that once again, the NDA government could come into power if the survey is to be believed. However, it’s important to note that this is just one opinion poll.
The India TV-CNX Opinion Poll
According to the India TV-CNX Opinion Poll, there is a likelihood that the BJP-led NDA could secure 378 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, while the Indian Alliance could obtain 98 seats. It’s anticipated that other parties could win some seats as well. Additionally, prior to the Lok Sabha elections, the India TV-CNX Opinion Poll endeavored to understand the mood of voters both at the state and constituency levels.
Will Rahul Gandhi drown in the dynasty?
It should be noted that Rahul Gandhi is currently undertaking the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. According to reports, today marks the final day of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. This journey is concluding in Mumbai. On March 17, Rahul Gandhi will embark on the Mumbai route for the Pad Yatra (foot journey). If we consider the opinion polls mentioned earlier, it’s not good news for the Congress party. According to the opinion poll, the Congress party is unable to cross the mark of 100 seats. However, this is just an opinion poll. It will be interesting to see the strategy of the Congress party in the coming days, considering the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Do Indians trust Prime Minister Modi?
If we look at the surveys, it seems like the BJP might win again with a big margin in all of them. But remember, these are just surveys. We’ll know for sure on June 4, 2024, who’s forming the government. It’s worth noting that BJP won big in 2019 too. Many experts think BJP has kept its promises quite well, like building the Ram Temple and removing Article 370 in Kashmir. Besides, Modi’s government has also earned people’s trust on serious matters like CAA. Plus, they’ve taken steps for the country’s progress in many areas.
