After the predictions of the exit polls that say the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will emerge victorious for the third straight time in the Lok Sabha polls, several leaders from BJP in Rajasthan have exuded confidence in NDA getting more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha.
Rajasthan minister Madan Dilawar told ANI that Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister for the third time. "BJP will win more than 400 seats in the country and PM Modi will become the Prime Minister for the third time," Dilawar said. BJP leader from the state, Madan Rathore said that the atmosphere is completely in favour of the BJP and PM Modi. "We will win more than 400 seats. People have faith in PM Modi's guarantees. Wherever I have been, like Telangana, Delhi, Maharashtra etc., the atmosphere is completely in favour of BJP and PM Modi," Rathore said. Another Rajasthan minister, Avinash Gehlot, said that NDA will cross 400 seats, as the people are with PM Modi. "I and the whole country believe that on June 4, at 4 pm, the number will cross 400, and the people of the country are with PM Modi. This was the people's election and the people are winning it, we will win more than 400 seats," he said. Exit polls predicted that the NDA would secure a clear majority in Rajasthan as well. An aggregate of exit polls shows that out of 25 Lok Sabha seats, the NDA is predicted to win 18-23 seats, while the Congress-led INDIA bloc is expected to win 2-7 seats. Times Now ETG's exit poll figures indicated that the NDA is winning 18 seats, while the Congress-led INDIA bloc is clinching seven seats. The exit poll figures from INDIA TV predicted the NDA getting 21 to 23 seats, while the INDIA bloc is wrapping up with two to four seats. Similarly, News 24 in its exit poll figures predicted 22 seats for the NDA, two seats for the INDIA bloc, and one seat for others. The polling in Rajasthan was held across two phases. Polling for 12 seats was held in the first phase on April 19, and voting for the remaining 13 seats was held in the second phase on April 26. The counting will take place on June 4. For the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP contested all 25 seats under the NDA. Under the seat-sharing arrangement of the INDIA bloc, Congress contested the polls from 22 seats, while its allies Bharat Adivasi Party, CPM, and Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) contested the elections from one seat each. Some key candidates in the state include Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Kailash Choudhary and Union Minister of Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA swept all 25 seats. The BJP won 24 seats, and its ally, the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP), bagged one seat. Congress failed to open its account in the elections. In 2014, the BJP also secured victory in all 25 seats.
