“I can say with confidence that the people of India have voted in record numbers to reelect the NDA government,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a post on X.
Modi alleged that the opportunistic INDI Alliance failed to strike a chord with the voters. “They are casteist, communal and corrupt. This alliance, aimed to protect a handful of dynasties, failed to present a futuristic vision for the nation,” Modi said.
Earlier in the day, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the INDIA bloc parties would win over 295 seats, adding that they had a people's survey with them.

Reacting to the party's decision, BJP chief J.P. Nadda had said the Congress’ decision not to participate in the Lok Sabha exit poll debates was an 'unequivocal confirmation' that it had conceded the election.
