NEW DELHI: A new opinion poll by CNN-IBN said the BJP and its allies could get 234 to 246 seats in Lok Sabha. Congress and its partners may win just 111 to 123, the poll suggested.
According to another opinion poll released by CSDS, a respected Indian polling group, the BJP and its allies are forecast to win the biggest chunk of the 543 parliamentary seats up for grabs but fall up to 38 seats short of a majority.
The winning party needs 272 seats for a majority but the BJP is expected to strike more alliances to reach that crucial number when results come in on May 16. IANS/Reuters
