The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) appeared headed for a simple majority, leading in 293 seats though falling short of a clear majority, while the Congress-led INDIA opposition alliance trailed at 229 seats. Among notable winners were BJP's Amit Shah (Gandhinagar), Kangana Ranaut (Mandi), TMC's Abhishek Banerjee (Diamond Harbour), JDS' H.D. Kumaraswamy (Mandya) and Congress' Charanjit Channi (Jalandhar). Regional parties like BJD, DMK, TDP were poised to play kingmakers. The see-saw battle underscored the tough fight between the two alliances, with voters split on who should lead the nation. All eyes are now on the final tally as the cliffhanger results raise prospects of more alliance realignments.
