Here is the final tally of Lok Sabha poll results

NDA: 295 (BJP 240)

INDIA: 231 (Congress 99)

The BJP, whose candidates had contested in the name of Narendra Modi, won in 240 seats, falling short of the 272 majority mark and needing the support of allies in the party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for government formation, a far cry from the 303 and 282 seats it had won in 2019 and 2014, respectively, to have a majority on its own.

With support from BJP's key allies N Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Nitish Kumar's JD(U), which won 16 and 12 seats in Andhra Pradesh and Bihar, respectively, and other alliance partners, the NDA crossed the halfway mark and bagged around 290 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha. The TDP also swept the assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, dislodging YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP.
