^^^ It is not a Modi wave, but a Modi tsunami. 

Ab Ki Baar, Modi Sarkaar

Ab Ki Baar, Modi Sarkaar

Too early to say. Even if the NDA gets 270-280 seats, the anti-Modi faction within the BJP (Sushma Swaraj and LK Advani) will try their best to sabotage his PM candidature. One of the NDA constituents (Shiv Sena) is not keen on Modi becoming the PM. So, the picture will become clearer only after the results are announced on May 16th.

These elections will be very exciting. AAP has a very strong grip here in the northern region, especially Punjab

lol... the AAP might end up with Zero seats. In an already polarized election, they shamelessly tried to woo radical Muslims like Mukhtar Ansari and Imam Bukhari. This will cost them the secular Hindu votes.

So what does unofficial result say dudes?Who is leading so far?

The polling is still not complete in most of the states. It will finish on May 11th. Only after that the results will be clear. The Indian opinion polls are notoriously erratic. So can't depend upon them.

Lol, AAP has 4 confirmed seats in Punjab for sure

According to the opinion polls, AAP will get 10-12% of the votes in Punjab. I don't think that they will win even a single seat with that sort of vote-share. AAP might get zero seats in nationwide as well.

Looks like it could be tighter for Modi than originally expected
May need to win tricky regional allies

Ground reports suggest otherwise. After the polls started, BJP gained a lot of momentum, while the regional parties lost it. The prospects have declined for almost all of the regional parties, perhaps with the exception of TMC.

Zero seats for AAP in Delhi. AAP has lost 90% of its middle class support in Delhi, and now enjoys the support only from the slum dwellers and minorities. Not enough to win any of the seats.

Kamruzzama Fauji, the local leader of the Bahujan Samaj Party who was targeted is quite infamous. No one knows about the exact motive of the attacker, but I suspect that it is related to the criminal connections of the targeted politician.

Modi still going to win?

[bryant.coleman]

Modi still going to win?

Yes. However, it is doubtful whether the NDA will get an absolute majority or not. There are some 60-70% chances for it. However, if the results are bad, then they might have to seek support from parties such as BJD and AIADMK.
