Pithapuram Election Results 2024: A sizeable Kapu community voters and anti-incumbency helped Jana Sena chief Pawan Klayan in the Pithapuram assembly segment. He won the seat with a comfortable majority of over 70,000 votes against his rival YSR Congress party's Vanga Geetha. In a closely contested Lok Sabha election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was set to return for a third term, though his BJP-led NDA coalition fell short of expectations in the face of a surprisingly strong showing by the opposition INDIA bloc. Despite aiming for over 400 seats, the NDA was hovering around 290 seats, hamstrung by an underwhelming performance in the bellwether state of Uttar Pradesh. A revitalised INDIA bloc was ahead on 235 seats. The BJP, which had set a target of 370 seats, is leading on 243 seats, falling short of the majority mark of 272 and significantly below exit poll forecasts. The Congress is on track to win over 95 seats, a substantial increase from its 2019 tally of 52 seats. Others, including regional outfits and Independents, were ahead in 18 seats. #pawankalyan #indiatoday #exitpoll #indiatodayexitpoll #loksabhaelection2024 #loksabhaelectionexitpoll2024 #ndavsindiaalliance #bjpvscongress #axismtindia #indiatodayaxisexitpoll #election2024 #indiatoday #IndiaTodayAxisExitPoll #pmmodi #resultsonaajtak #resultsonindiatoday #rahulgandhi #uttarpradesh #varanasi #amitshah Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
