The result of the Lok Sabha elections will be declared on June 4. Then the Election Commission will hold a press conference a day before the counting of votes. The elections began in seven phases from April 19. The voting for the last phase was completed on June 1. Now this is the first time that the Election Commission is holding a press conference after the voting is over.
will hold a press conference today
The important thing is that till the last Lok Sabha elections, the Deputy Election Commissioner used to give media briefing after every phase of voting, but now this practice has been stopped. Now, a day before the counting of votes for the Lok Sabha elections on June 4, the Election Commission will hold a press conference in Delhi today at 12.30 pm. This will probably be the first time in the electoral history of the country that the Election Commission has called a press conference at the end of the elections.
Jairam Ramesh made allegations
Importantly, the Election Commission has sought factual information and details from Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh about his statement through a post on his social media handle. In which he alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had called 150 District Magistrates a few days ago. The Election Commission has sought a reply from Jairam Ramesh for further necessary action. Voting for the seven-phase marathon process for the Lok Sabha elections, which began on April 19, ended on Saturday (June 1).
NDA government in exit poll
Exit polls suggest that the ruling BJP-led NDA will surpass its 2019 record by winning 352 seats. Two surveys have predicted that the BJP will also improve its tally from the 303 seats it won in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. If the exit polls predict the BJP's return to power during the June 4 vote counting, PM Narendra Modi will become the only PM after Jawaharlal Nehru to win three consecutive Lok Sabha elections.
