So far, BJP is ahead at 48 out of 70 seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party is ahead at 22. This election was fought with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the face of BJP. With this victory, the BJP -led coalition will now rule in 21 states/union territories. There is now a BJP government alone in 15 states including Delhi. In 2024, PM Modi achieved a historic tenure for the third consecutive time, making him one of India’s longest serving leaders. Under his leadership, BJP contested last year in eight states – Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Odisha, Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand. The party and its allies formed governments in five states – Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, Haryana and Maharashtra.
