In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, India has witnessed dynamic shifts and significant trends across various states. Early trends indicate that the BJP-led NDA is maintaining a strong lead, though the opposition alliance, INDIA, is making substantial gains compared to the 2019 elections.
Key Trends and Results:
- National Overview:
- As of the latest updates, the BJP-led NDA is leading with 287 seats, while the INDIA alliance has secured 220 seats. This shows a notable increase for the INDIA bloc, which is up by 82 seats from its 2019 tally (Business Today) (Free Press Journal).
- State-specific Trends:
- Rajasthan: The BJP is leading in 13 out of 25 seats, while the Congress is leading in 9 seats. This is a significant contest given Rajasthan’s history of favoring BJP in the past two general elections (Free Press Journal).

- Market Reactions:
- The financial markets have reacted to the early trends, with Sensex and Nifty experiencing a significant drop.

The 2024 Lok Sabha elections are proving to be a highly competitive and transformative event in Indian politics. The strong performance of the INDIA alliance, especially in states like Punjab and Tamil Nadu, indicates a shift in voter sentiment. Meanwhile, the NDA’s robust presence in states like Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat showcases its enduring influence.
