The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) comprises 41 parties, while the opposition coalition INDIA bloc includes 37 parties. This election saw a fierce contest between these alliances, including both national and regional parties. Notably, some parties like the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) did not align with any coalition.
Despite facing significant challenges, the BJP managed to secure a substantial number of seats, ensuring its position as the leading party. The Congress, on the other hand, made significant gains, improving its tally compared to previous elections. The final outcome underscores the dynamic and competitive nature of Indian politics, with regional parties and smaller alliances playing crucial roles in shaping the electoral landscape.
