As the dust settles on the polling booths, the question arises – “Who is forming the government?” Is it the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) or the Indian National Democratic Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.)? This article aims to delve into the details of the election results and analyze the potential government formation.
A Glimpse into the Election Result 2024
The 2024 elections have been a roller coaster ride, with the NDA and I.N.D.I.A. battling it out in the political arena. The anticipation has been palpable, the campaigns fierce, and the debates heated. As the nation waited with bated breath, the results started trickling in, painting a picture of the political landscape of India for the next five years.
The Ticket to Power
The question of “Who is forming the ticket?” has been a significant point of discussion. The power dynamics in the Indian political scenario are complex and ever-changing. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the election results and the potential government formation.
Background of NDA and I.N.D.I.A.
The political landscape of India in 2024 is dominated by two major alliances: the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.).
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA)
The NDA, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been a formidable force in Indian politics. The alliance set an ambitious target of over 400 Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 elections, aiming to breach the record set by Congress leader Rajiv Gandhi. The ‘Modi-wave’ continues to be a significant factor in the NDA’s dominance.
The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.)
The I.N.D.I.A. alliance is a coalition of 37 political parties led by the Indian National Congress. Formed to take on the ruling NDA in the 2024 general elections, the alliance represents a big tent of political ideologies and regional interests. The alliance was announced by the leaders of 28 parties to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The I.N.D.I.A. alliance is a testament to the dynamism of Indian democracy. It represents a broad spectrum of political ideologies and regional interests, united by a common goal: to provide a viable alternative to the ruling NDA.
The 2024 Election Campaign
The 2024 election campaign was a battleground of ideologies, with the NDA and I.N.D.I.A. alliance vying for the electorate’s favor.
NDA’s Election Campaign
The NDA, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, embarked on an ambitious campaign. The alliance set a target of over 400 Lok Sabha seats. However, the ‘Modi-wave’ that had been a significant factor in previous elections seemed to have lost some of its momentum. The BJP’s campaign focused on its development agenda and the promise of a ‘New India’. However, some voters felt that the party had failed to address the problems faced by ordinary people.
I.N.D.I.A.’s Election Campaign
The I.N.D.I.A. alliance, a coalition of 26 political parties, presented a united front against the NDA. The alliance’s campaign was centered around the promise of an inclusive and developmental India. Despite being a new entrant in the political arena, the I.N.D.I.A. alliance managed to make significant inroads, especially in states where the BJP’s popularity was on the wane.
The 2024 election campaign was marked by intense debates, heated exchanges, and high-voltage political drama. Both alliances left no stone unturned in their bid to woo the voters.
As the campaign trail heated up, the question on everyone’s mind was – “Who will form the government?” The answer to this question was not just about numbers; it was about the aspirations of a billion people and the future of the world’s largest democracy.
Election Results Overview
The 2024 general elections have been a roller coaster ride, with the NDA and I.N.D.I.A. alliance vying for the electorate’s favor. The Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) managed to secure 293 seats, comfortably surpassing the 272 needed to form a government. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the leading party of the NDA, secured 240 seats on its own, falling 32 seats short of the halfway mark.
On the other hand, the opposition I.N.D.I.A. alliance, led by the Indian National Congress, won a total of 232 seats. This number contrasts sharply with the 2019 results when the BJP-led NDA won 353 seats.
The election results have set the stage for a fascinating political scenario. Despite having a majority, the NDA is heavily dependent on its alliance partners to maintain a stable government. The I.N.D.I.A. alliance, despite being a new entrant, has made significant inroads, especially in states where the BJP’s popularity was on the wane.
Analysis of NDA’s Performance
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has been a significant player in the 2024 elections. The alliance managed to secure 293 seats, comfortably surpassing the 272 needed to form a government. However, the BJP, the leading party of the NDA, secured 240 seats on its own, falling 32 seats short of the halfway mark.
Despite having a majority, the NDA is heavily dependent on its alliance partners to maintain a stable government. This dependence on regional parties with fluctuating political allegiances presents a challenge for the NDA.
The BJP’s performance in the 2024 elections was not as expected. The party suffered a major setback by going down 63 from its 2019 tally of 303. The BJP’s vote share also declined from 37.7 per cent to 36.56 per cent. Despite these setbacks, the BJP managed to open its account in Kerala for the first time and doubled its seat from 4 to 8 in Telangana.
Analysis of I.N.D.I.A.’s Performance
The Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.), a coalition of 26 political parties, has made significant strides in the 2024 elections. The alliance, led by the Indian National Congress, won a total of 223 seats. These numbers contrast sharply with the 2019 results when the BJP-led NDA won 353 seats.
Despite being a new entrant in the political arena, the I.N.D.I.A. alliance managed to make significant inroads, especially in states where the BJP’s popularity was on the wane. In Uttar Pradesh, a state governed by the BJP since 2017, the I.N.D.I.A. alliance won 43 seats, with the Samajwadi Party (SP) winning 37 seats and the Congress six. This was a significant shift from the 2019 elections when the NDA won 64 seats from the state.
The I.N.D.I.A. alliance’s performance in the 2024 elections is a testament to the dynamism of Indian democracy. It represents a broad spectrum of political ideologies and regional interests, united by a common goal: to provide a viable alternative to the ruling NDA.
Who is Going to Make the Government?
The 2024 general elections have set the stage for a fascinating political scenario. The Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is set to return for a third term by winning 294 Lok Sabha seats across the country. However, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the leading party of the NDA, secured 240 seats on its own, falling 32 seats short of the halfway mark. This means that the NDA is heavily dependent on its alliance partners such as the TDP and JD (U) to secure the 272 seats required to form the government.
| Party Alliance | Seats Won | Key Victories | Significant States |
|---|---|---|---|
| NDA | 293 | BJP won 240 seats | Significant presence in Kerala and Telangana |
| I.N.D.I.A. | 232 | Congress won 99 seats, Samajwadi Party won 37 seats | Significant presence in Uttar Pradesh |
On the other hand, the opposition I.N.D.I.A. bloc, combined by the Congress, the Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam won a total of 232 seats. The Congress got back on its feet with 99 seats and the SP gave a stunning show by winning 37 seats from a mere 5 seats in Uttar Pradesh in 2019.
While the NDA is set to form the government, the I.N.D.I.A. alliance has emerged as a strong opposition, setting the stage for an interesting political scenario in the coming years.

The 2024 general elections have been a roller coaster ride, with the NDA and I.N.D.I.A. alliance vying for the electorate’s favor. The Narendra Modi-led NDA is set to return for a third term, but the I.N.D.I.A. alliance has emerged as a strong opposition.
