India Election Results 2024 LIVE: Which seat will Rahul Gandhi vacate?
Will Rahul Gandhi give up the seat that his family has held for so long, or will he give up the seat that he recently won in the 2019 elections, even though that seat had supported him when he lost Amethi?
What likely demands are NDA allies set to raise before Modi?
NDA allies like TDP, JD(U), LJP, Shiv Sena and HAM will play an important role in forming the BJP-led government at the national level. Since BJP has not been able to reach the required halfway mark, these allies may make a number of requests when they reach Delhi.
TDP: Chandrababu Naidu, who won in Andhra Pradesh, can ask for the posts of 3 cabinet ministers and 2 ministers of state out of the 16 Lok Sabha seats of his party. Additionally, TDP may request that the post of Lok Sabha Speaker be given to their party.
JD(U): Nitish Kumar, whose party won 12 seats in Bihar, is likely to seek 3 Cabinet and MoS berths each. The party is also likely to raise its longstanding demand for the Centre to accord special category status to Bihar.
LJP (Ramvilas): With wins in 5 Lok Sabha seats, the Lok Janshakti Party of Chirag Paswan is likely to seek 1 Cabinet berth and 1 MoS rank for his party.
HAM: The Hindustan Awam Morcha with a solitary seat is likely to demand that Jitan Ram Manjhi be given a Cabinet post in the Modi3.0 government.
