Re: Lok Sabha Elections 2024 - World's largest elections - Desh Ka Garv [World's envy]
I listened to the program. My conclusion was that the data is inconclusive in terms of saying that BJP has crossed majority or not in last 5 phases.
It could mean either or the following. 272 has already been crossed. Or 272 will be crossed by the end of the 7th phase.

However, the submarine procurement mess and the ATAGS points to a patchy performance.
