CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Psephologist-turned-politician Yogendra Yadav becomes the latest poll analyst, after American poll expert Ian Bremmer and political scientist Prashant Kishor, to predict the BJP’s victory in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.
According to Yogendra Yadav, however, the saffron party may not be able to replicate its performance in the previous polls when it won 303 polls in 2019. The party may win around 240-260 seats and the NDA allies will win about 35-45 seats, predicted Yadav.
He expects the Congress to improve its tally this time around, from 52 in 2019 to 85-100.
Yogendra Yadav isn’t buying BJP’s claim of winning over 400 seats as he said in a tweet: “forget 400 or 303, BJP will not cross 272. If the wind blows more strongly, it is possible that even NDA may not get majority.”
