Results not looking like exit polls, big blow to BJP in trends, close fight between NDA and India

New Delhi: As the counting of votes in the Lok Sabha elections progresses, the initial trends show that the ruling NDA at the centre is facing a major setback. With this, questions are being raised once again on the exit polls. Almost all the exit polls had claimed an absolute majority for the NDA. The exit polls that came out immediately after the Lok Sabha elections claimed that the BJP-led coalition at the centre will get more than 340 seats, however, this does not seem to be happening in the initial trends. The BJP seems to be facing a major setback in this election. Especially in UP, the All India Alliance seems to be ahead in the trends.
