Citing the predictions of exit polls that indicate a third consecutive term for Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary attributed the results to the work done by PM Modi and asserted that no PM has done as much work as Narendra Modi has done.
Speaking to ANI, Samrat Choudhary said, "This is the blessing of the people and the work that PM Modi has done in the last 10 years. In 70 years, no Prime Minister has done as much work as Narendra Modi has done. He has worked and hence he is getting the love of the people." Reacting to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge's statement that INDIA alliance will win over 295 seats in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Choudhary said, "If they (INDIA alliance) are getting 295 seats then they should go and form the government." When asked about violence being reported from places where the family of Lalu Prasad Yadav contested the elections, the Bihar Deputy Chief Minister targeted him and called him a symbol of anarchy. "People feel bad but I say this again and again, Lalu Prasad Yadav is a symbol of anarchy, goons, criminals and corruption. As long as Lalu Prasad Yadav is in the politics of Bihar, he will continue committing crimes and hooliganism," he further said. The exit polls predicted that the ruling BJP-led NDA is poised to improve its performance over its 2019 record when it won 352 seats. Two polls predicted the BJP also improving its numbers from the 303 seats it won in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. If the exit poll predictions come true on June 4 when votes are counted, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will become the only PM after Jawaharlal Nehru to win three successive terms in Lok Sabha polls. The exit polls predicted 'Modi 3.0' with PM Modi having led the BJP's poll effort through rallies and roadshows in various parts of the country. According to India Today-Axis My India exit polls, NDA is predicted to win 361-401 seats in the Lok Sabha polls.
