— Chowkidar Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) May 23, 2019 With its allies, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance could win 343 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha.

In the politically critical state of Uttar Pradesh, where the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party had posed a stiff challenge, the BJP was leading in 58 of the 80 seats at stake. The SP was ahead in eight and BSP in 11. The Congress Party was ahead only in one. Even, Congress President Rahul Gandhi was in a neck-and-neck race in Amethi with BJP's Smriti Irani.

The United States Wednesday said that it was confident in the fairness and integrity of the Indian elections and would work with whoever is the victor. “I would say from the US perspective, we are very confident in the fairness and the integrity of the Indian elections, and we will obviously work with whoever is the victor and whatever the outcome is there,” State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus told reporters during an off-camera gaggle here.
