The next government of the country will be a coalition
The results of the Lok Sabha elections have been declared and out of 543 Lok Sabha seats, BJP has won 240 seats and Congress has won 99 seats. The BJP-led NDA alliance has won 292 seats and the Congress-led opposition alliance has won 234 seats. It is clear from the results that the next government in the country will be formed by the alliance. There will be a meeting of the NDA on Wednesday regarding the formation of the government. The opposition Indy alliance will also hold a meeting today. Prime Minister Modi is going to become the Prime Minister of the country for the third time, but this time BJP needs the support of the allied parties to run the government. Especially the support of JDU and TDP will be necessary. The opposition alliance can also try to pull JDU and TDP to its side. Although both the parties have made it clear that they will support the NDA, but despite this the opposition alliance is engaged in its efforts.
