Most exit polls projected the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) could win a two-thirds majority in the 543-member lower house of parliament, where 272 is needed for a simple majority. The opposition "INDIA" alliance led by Rahul Gandhi's Congress party was projected to win between 125 to 165 seats.
