Lok Sabha Elections Results 2024 are giving shockwaves in the BJP camp as multiple rounds of counting suggest that the saffron party may not achieve the magical number of 273 to prove its majority. The most shocking results are coming from Uttar Pradesh for the BJP as the Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party is leading on 35 seats whereas the saffron party is only leading on 34 seats. On the other hand, Congress is winning on 7 seats in Uttar Pradesh. As a result, the situation is looking grim for the BJP and it is highly unlikely that the saffron party reach the majority mark of 273 seats. Now, the question arises if BJP fails to win 273 seats in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, who will be the kingmaker due to which Narendra Modi will return as the PM of India?
Who will be the kingmaker if the BJP loses the majority?
Well, two parties of India may decide the future of BJP and Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The first one is the Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the other one being is the Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United). In Andhra Pradesh, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is winning 16 seats as per ECI trends making Chandrababu Naidu the clear Kingmaker of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections 2024. While in Bihar, Nitish Kumar-led JDU is winning 15 seats as per ECI's latest trends. It means Nitish Kumar can also be a kingmaker for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. Notably, Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar will be two kingmakers whose support will help Narendra Modi become PM of India for the third time in a row.
Interestingly, on Monday, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar visited New Delhi and met PM Modi and Amit Shah at their residences. While the agenda of their meeting was not known, it was said that Nitish Kumar was called to New Delhi for emergency meeting. Furthermore, it was said that Nitish Kumar may get a prominent portfolio in the Modi Government 3.0 and Bihar may get its first-ever CM from the BJP party.
However, seeing Nitish Kumar's flip-flop history, it can also be said that there is some panic in the BJP camp in case the JDU supremo gives his support to the INDIA alliance. It is pertinent to mention here that Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is one of the architects of INDIA alliance. However, he parted ways with INDIA bloc after Congress and other parties did not talk about seat sharing and PM's candidate.
