FINAL COUNTDOWN - MODI 3.0 or I.N.D.I.A BLOC ?
With a record amount of votes cast over six weeks and seven rounds of voting, india is poised to receive a historic result. The country will learn today if the Congress-led opposition india alliance will shock everyone by seizing power, or if the BJP-led national democratic alliance (NDA) will maintain its hold on power.
The results of exit polls have mainly shown that prime minister Narendra Modi is expected to secure an unprecedented third term with an insurmountable majority. The forty opposition parties that make up the india group, however, are still optimistic that they will be able to achieve a majority come counting day.

Voter tallying will get underway at 8 AM at counting centers throughout the nation. Chief election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar stated that when the counting starts, the EVMs would be opened after the postal ballots have been counted.
With claims made after the ballot, the bitter campaign rivalry between the two opposing camps has persisted in the lead-up to the vote count. congress leader rahul gandhi dismissed the predictions as a "Modi media poll," while india bloc leaders accused the prime minister of encouraging the bureaucracy through "fantasy" exit polls. In retaliation, the bjp demanded that the election commission stop any efforts at "violence and unrest" during the counting process, accusing the Opposition of undermining the democratic process's integrity.
