NEW DELHI / AGARTALA, May 23 (TIWN): The Opposition Parties in India are seeing a shocking end of the Lok Sabha Election 2019, with massive failures allover India and NDA led Narendra Modi is all set to be the Prime Minister of India for the second-term. BJP has called it’s “Modi Storm” and exit poll results become hundred-percent fact. The Bharatiya Janata Party is to return to power as it led in 292 seats. BJP made stunning inroads in Trinamool Congress-ruled West Bengal, with the trends of the Lok Sabha elections showing that the saffron party was leading in 17 of the 42 seats, up from only two last time. If the Lok Sabha election result trends stay the same, the BJP would have improved on its 2014 performance when it had won 282 seats on its own in the 543-member Lok Sabha. Markets cheered the trends, as the benchmark BSE Sensex touched 40,000 for the first time and NSE Nifty breached the 12,000 level.In Tripura also BJP made a clean sweep in both constituencies whereas the West Tripura seat is still under judiciary.

In Uttar Pradesh, where the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party combine had posed a stiff challenge, the BJP was leading in 56 of the 80 seats at stake. The SP was ahead in eight and BSP in 12.

The Congress Party was ahead only in one seat in Uttar Pradesh. Even, Congress President Rahul Gandhi was trailing BJP's Smriti Irani in Amethi by nearly 7,000 votes but was clearly ahead in Wayanad in Kerala. The Modi wave not only swept through the Hindi heartland and Gujarat, as was expected, but also rippled through West Bengal, Odisha, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Only Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh appeared untouched. Even in Telangana, where it was expected to fare poorly, the BJP was ahead in four seats, the same as the Telangana Rashtra Samiti.

As BJP heads for big win, world leaders congratulate PM Modi.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin sent a congratulatory telegram to PM Narendra Modi in connection “with the convincing victory of the BJP at the general parliamentary elections.”

As protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) was raging in Assam and several other states in the north-east in January and February this year, several political experts predicted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was likely to face an uphill battle in the region in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

But on Thursday, as trends from the 24 seats in the seven states in the region (except Sikkim) trickled in, it appeared that the apparent anger against CAB did not have any impact on the BJP’s political prospects in the region. As of noon, four hours after counting started, the BJP and its allies were leading in 19 of the 24 seats.

The statuses of AAP and Left are also going pathetic.
