After two months of high-octane campaigning, controversy over EVM tampering and violations of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), the D-Day has arrived for the world’s largest democracy. BJP-led NDA appeared set to retain power as the alliance has taken a clear lead over the Congress-led UPA to cross the majority mark of 272 and race well over 300 seats out of the total 542 Lok Sabha seats.
Republic founder Arnab Goswami found himself with his foot in his mouth when he accidentally referred to Sunny Deol as Jism 2 actor Sunny Leone instead during a news show covering the counting of votes as the 2019 Lok Sabha elections come to a close.
Sunny Deol is contesting on a BJP ticket in Punjab’s Gurdaspur. Early numbers indicated he had a strong lead over his Congress counterpart Sunil Jakhar.

As predicted in exit polls, BJP is making handsome gains in West Bengal and has managed to thwart the threats from Mahagathbandhan in Uttar Pradesh. Punjab is likely to be the only state where the Congress is expected to make huge gains on its own.
Saffron party has taken leads in many key states including, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka, Delhi and Maharashtra.
