Looks like, bad news is awaiting for the ruling Congress as it is clearly trailing behind BJP. While BJP is leading in over 110 constituencies, Congress is leading only in 68 seats whereas Janata Dal (Secular) is at 42 seats and independents are leading in 2 seats. There is a steep difference between Congress and BJP i.e 40 seats.

Even though Congress is not willing to concede defeat at the moment and declared that all options are open and is in talks with the JD(S), BJP is pretty confident of forming the government.

At the moment, BJP is the single largest party with 110 seats. BJP leaders of Karnataka and other states have already erupted in celebration. The present trends indicate Modi and Amit Shah’s formula has worked. This is seen as a major setback to Congress which is only in ruling in Punjab, Mizoram and Puducherry.

Party – Leads

BJP – 110

Congress – 68

JD(S) – 42
