| Narendra Modi's BJP will be the single largest party and is set to get 195 seats in the 16th Lok Sabha, its best showing ever in its 34-year history. Rahul Gandhi's Congress is likely to end up with 106, its worst performance. (NDTV Opinion Poll: UP with Modi, big dent for Mulayam)
The NDTV opinion poll, however, also shows that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance or NDA will fall short of majority at 229 seats and will have to win more friends to reach the 272 majority mark in the 545-member Lok Sabha for which elections will be held next month.
In 1984, the BJP had won two seats. Its best performance so far was 182 in 1998 and then 1999. It will better that this year riding on a solid performance in Uttar Pradesh where it looks set to bag 40 of the state's 80 seats. It is also set to strike gold in big states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and in Maharashtra with ally Shiv Sena.
Punjab will return eight Congress MPs and five from the BJP-Akali Dal combine, the opinion poll shows, exactly the same as last time.
While the Seemandhra part of Andhra Pradesh is expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of Jagan Mohan Reddy of the YSR Congress, the expected BJP-Telugu Desam team is set to grab nine seats here too.
The Congress, at its lowest, had 114 seats in 1999. This year, the opinion poll shows, it will end up with only 106, a very sheer drop from its 2009 tally of 201. The alliance it leads, the UPA, is likely to get 126 seats only.
