Lok Sabha elections. Other NDA constituents including JD(U) and TDP will clinch 61 seats, according to News18's Mega Opinion Poll. It predicted that the opposition bloc INDIA will fail to dent PM Modi's bid for a third term as the INDIA bloc will win only 105 seats in the lower house, including Congress' 49 seats.

With this, Congress will face its second-worst debacle in Lok Sabha elections if the predictions go the same. Previously, the grand old party's historic low was 44 seats in 2014 polls. The News18 opinion polls predicted major gains for BJP in states including Odisha, Telangana, West Bengal, and Tamil Nadu.

Take a look at the state-wise opinion poll results below, 1) Maharashtra: The survey forecasted another sweep for the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP combination in Maharashtra with the NDA winning 41 seats in the 48 assembly state. On the other hand, Maharashtra's INDIA bloc which constitutes Congress, Sharad Pawar's NCP faction, and Uddhav Thackerary's Shiv Sena (UBT), will only bag 7 seats. 2) West Bengal: A significant decline for Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress is expected in West Bengal, while a big jump can be witnessed in BJP's seat tally as it will win 25 seats out of the 42 seats.

However, TMC is expected to secure only 17 seats in her state and the Congress is likely to draw nothing. 3) Karnataka: The NDA is expected to repeat its 2019 performance in Karnataka, winning 25 seats out of the 28 seats here, while the Congress will only bag 3 seats. This time, the BJP is contesting elections in alliance with JD(S).
