300+ seats for NDA if Lok Sabha polls held today

With a spring in its step following back-to-back victories in three major Assembly polls, the NDA is likely to put up a dominant show and win 324 seats if the Lok Sabha elections are held today, according to the India Today-CVoter Mood of the Nation survey. 

On the other hand, the Congress-led opposition alliance, which won 234 seats in 2024, giving the NDA a rude shock, is projected to be down to 208 if the polls are held today.

If seen party-wise, the survey predicts that if a general election was held now, the BJP would secure 260 seats but still fall short of getting a simple majority of its own.

For the Congress, the MOTN survey predicts 97 seats - a minimal difference from the 99 it won in the 2024 polls. 

However, if compared to the February MOTN projection of 78 seats, it marks a gradual shift for the party that has gone hammer and tongs against the BJP over its "vote chori" claim.

The NDA will also see a rise in its vote share to 46.7% if elections were held today. It got 44% of the votes in 2024. For the INDIA bloc, the survey predicts a 40.9% vote share.
