Most exit polls predicted Narendra Modi to be back as the Prime Minister of India on 23 May, with the NDA getting majority of the seats comfortably on its own.

The trend line is clearly in favour of the NDA with their tally increasing in most of the states where they have a stronghold, saving Kerala and Punjab, where the Congress seems to be holding on.

The BJP is expected to make a clean sweep in Karnataka winning around 22 out of 28 Lok Sabha seats in the state. The Congress and BJP are in a direct contest in Karnataka. Last year, the Congress and JD (S) joined hands to form government in Karnataka after the combine managed to cross the halfway mark in the state assembly.

Maharashtra, which voted in four phases in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, had given the Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena combine 41 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats in 2014.

The latest exit polls have predicted anywhere between 34 to 42 seats for the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance, with the agrarian distress in the state having no impact on the mandate.

In Gujarat, the BJP is predicted to win 24 to 25 seats. The party had won all 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat in 2014. The Congress, which gave a tough fight in the 2017 assembly election, is likely to win only one seat.

Predicting a near clean sweep for the Bharatiya Janata Party in Rajasthan, most exit polls have handed 19 to 25 seats to the saffron party, despite the gains made by the Congress in the desert state in assembly polls in December.
