In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA's (National Democratic Alliance led by the BJP) seats have come down from 353 in 2019 to 293 in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections — a deficit of 60 seats.
The big shock in the numbers comes from the Hindi Heartland states. Take a look at these nine states and Delhi.
Combined, these nine states and Delhi have 225 seats in total. In 2019, the NDA won 203 of these. But from 203/225 in 2019, the NDA's numbers in the heartland states have reduced to 149, a deficit of 54 seats.
