External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, speaking at NDTV's Battleground show, expressed confidence that the BJP will surpass its 2019 Lok Sabha election performance. He cited strong pro-incumbency in several states and growing support in traditionally non-BJP areas like Kerala and Telangana. Jaishankar avoided predicting exact numbers, leaving that to experts. He emphasized that the BJP's strategies are well-analyzed and data-driven. With two phases of voting remaining, he believes the party's base is solid and optimistic about increasing seats in states like Bengal, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh. Election results will be announced on June 4.
