| Lok Sabha election results: The big winners and losers | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, May 16: The Bharatiya Janata Party, driven by its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, scripted history on Friday as it went well above the half-way mark of 272 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. The Modi wave was evident as results poured in during the Friday finale with the NDA taking over 320 seats in the Lok Sabha. On the other hand, scams, inflation and a failed campaign saw Congress being reduced to a double figure party like other regional parties.
While the BJP with some surprising wins in West Bengal and down south, became the biggest gainer in this election, it was the incumbent ruling party Congress that became the biggest loser across the country. The fate of the Congress was reduced down to that of a regional party as the Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party steamrolled to a single party majority. Despite the Modi wave, senior party leader Arun Jaitley lost to Congress's Amarinder Singh.
Even more surprising was the surge in the number of seats for Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and Jayalalithaa's AIADMK. TMC's star candidate Moon Moon Sen was among the big winners of West Bengal and so was the BJP's Babul Supriyo.
Lok Sabha election results: The big winners and losers
While Narendra Modi, General VK Singh were among the big winners, Arun Jaitley and Rabri Devi were among the big losers.
On the other hand Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party was the other big loser with just one seat in all. Similar was the case with Farooq Abdullah's National Conference which could not open its account in its own state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Left and the Aam Aadmi Party also gave disappointed performances. While the Left could hardly get a couple of seats in West Bengal, the Aam Aadmi Party was completely washed out from Delhi and could manage to win only 4 seats in Punjab.
