Accordingly prime minister Narendra Modi on monday (February 5, 2024) claimed victory of bharatiya janata party (BJP) on 370 seats in the 2024 lok sabha elections. bjp is calling his claim as confidence, while opposition parties are calling it arrogance. While speaking in his address in the reply motion on the President's address in the lok sabha, PM Modi for the first time put forward the target of seats in the lok sabha elections.
Meanwhile after this claim of PM Modi, statements have started from the opposition side. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) mp Manoj Jha asked – Is the EVM set first? So someone is calling it a dream. PM Modi said that the way the mood of the country is, the public will help nda win more than 400 seats and bjp 370 seats. bjp has been contesting elections on 435 seats, so are there preparations to field candidates on more seats this time? What is the calculation of this guarantee of PM Modi? To understand this, let us look at the mathematics of seats and the trend of lok sabha elections of the last three years-
When talking about the lok sabha elections of 2009, 2014 and 2019, there are 95 seats where bjp has been winning in the last three lok sabha elections, whereas congress has been winning only 17 seats in 2009, 2014 and 2019. In 2014 and 2019, bjp won 173 seats, whereas congress has only 34 such seats. These seats are considered the strongholds of bjp and Congress. If we look at the weak seats, on 199 seats bjp did not win even a single election out of three and there are 309 seats on which congress could not win even a single election. Apart from this, there are 76 seats on which bjp has won one lok sabha election and congress has 183 such seats on its account, on which it has won 1 out of three elections.
