The results of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 are going to come today. Along with this, the results of the Odisha and Andhra Pradesh assembly elections will also come. Good news can come for BJP and NDA from both these states. NDA is ahead in all major exit polls. In Odisha, the BJP is also seen getting an advantage in assembly seats. If the exit poll estimates turn into results, then perhaps the Naveen Patnaik government may also be ousted from Odisha. There is a possibility of a change of power in Andhra Pradesh as well. Jagan Mohan Reddy may get a shock here.

The counting of votes begins

Along with the Lok Sabha seats across the country, the counting of votes has also started on the assembly seats of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. In Andhra Pradesh, TDP is currently leading on 47 seats. At the same time, YSRCP is leading on seven seats. While one seat has gone to the account of others. At the same time, the account of Congress has also not been opened.

They currently have one seat each.

Tug of war in Odisha

In the 2024 Odisha Assembly elections, Naveen Patnaik is once again in the electoral fray from BJD, while on the other hand, BJP contested this election without any regional face, relying on the popularity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Voting for 147 seats of Odisha Assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats was held in four phases from 13 May to 1 June and the results will come today.

In Odisha, BJP seems to be getting a big advantage in both Lok Sabha and Assembly. In the Lok Sabha elections, the India Today Axis exit poll estimates that the BJP can get 62-80 seats in the assembly elections, while BJD is also expected to get 62-80 seats. At the same time, five to eight seats are likely to go to the account of Congress. Let us tell you that the majority figure in the Odisha Assembly is 74 seats.

In the 2019 assembly elections, BJD got 112 seats. While BJP got 23 seats, Congress got nine, CPI M got one, and one seat went to the account of Independent. In this election, BJD got about 45 percent votes. Whereas BJP got about 33 percent votes. Congress got 16 percent votes and others got 6 percent votes.

Has CM Jagan's support base shifted to Andhra Pradesh?

There is tough competition for 175 assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh. Any party or alliance will have to win 88 seats to get a majority here. Here on one side, there is CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, whose government completed five years on 30 May, and on the other side, there is the TDP-BJP alliance, which is claiming to win this election. According to the exit poll of People's Plus, YSR Congress is expected to get 45-60 seats. Whereas TDP and BJP alliance can get 111-135 seats. Congress will also struggle to open its account. Others will also be wiped out.

Let us tell you that Chandrababu Naidu's TDP, Pawan Kalyan's Janasena Party, and BJP are contesting the elections together in the state. NDA is in direct competition with Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP.

TDP rejoined NDA before the elections

Before the elections, former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Chandrababu Naidu returned to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). TDP became a part of NDA for the first time in 1996. Chandrababu Naidu worked closely with former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and current Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Not only this, TDP also contested the 2014 Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh with the BJP, but in 2019 TDP broke away from NDA.

This was the figure in 2019

In 2019, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) won the election with a huge majority by winning 151 out of 175 seats, while the current Telugu Desam Party (TDP) won 23 seats. The Jana Sena Party (JSP) entered the assembly with one seat, while the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) failed to win any seats.

Then Jagan Mohan Reddy was made the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. This time there is an alliance of Telugu Desam, BJP, and Pawan Kalyan's Jana Sena Party led by Chandrababu Naidu. The re-emerging Congress under the leadership of YS Sharmila has made the election hung this time with the Left parties.

Now who will win and who will lose will be decided today

The people of Andhra Pradesh cast their votes on May 13 to elect 175 MLAs. Once upon a time, the reins of this state were in the hands of Congress and Telugu Desam, but after the death of YS Rajashekhar Reddy in a helicopter crash in 2009, his son YS Jagan Mohan Reddy established himself in the politics of Andhra Pradesh. Since coming to power in 2019, he has made his mark due to many social schemes.
