Congress Projected To Win Just 46 Seats In The 2019 LS Elections As Per News18 -IPSOS Exit Polls

The News18-IPSOS exit polls has predicted that Rahul Gandhi-led Congress is likely to repeat its performance of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

The Congress party in the 2014 general elections had got 44 seats and if the exit polls figures for the 2019 parliamentary polls predicted by the News18-IPSOS come true, the Congress will be marginally improving the 2014 tally by securing just 46 seats in the current LS elections.

The News18-IPSOS exit polls predicts that Congress wins could largely be limited to Punjab and Kerala, where the party’s tally could go down despite Rahul Gandhi contesting from Wayanad.

According to the exit polls, the BJP, on the other hand, will continue to ride on the Modi juggernaut and may get 276 seats on its own. The BJP-led NDA is predicted to win 336 seats in the 2019 parliamentary polls.

The counting for the votes for the seven-phased LS polls that ended today (19 May) would be done on 23 May.
