Election Results 2024 highlights: Welcome to our live blog coverage of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections!

Modi's own victory in Varanasi saw a marked decrease in his winning margin—from nearly 500,000 votes in 2019 to just over 150,000 this year. Meanwhile, the opposition INDIA bloc, spearheaded by Congress party, achieved a stronger-than-expected performance with 230 seats. Congress alone captured 99 seats, nearly doubling its 2019 tally, which is set to enhance former party president Rahul Gandhi's stature within his party and the opposition bloc.

Stay tuned as we bring you live updates, expert analyses, and real-time reactions from across the political spectrum on this pivotal day in Indian politics!
