National Approval Ratings: In Rajasthan, NDA projected to have a muscular hold while UPA seat-share drops

India is all set to witness the biggest celebration of democracy in just three days. Over 900 million citizens are gearing up to cast their votes to elect their preferred representatives for the 543 parliamentary seats. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a second straight term, and Congress president Rahul Gandhi aiming to topple the NDA government, the poll clouds have spread across the Indian sub-continent. Republic TV and CVoter have presented the National Approval Ratings i.e the biggest opinion poll ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The stakes are high in the desert state of India, Rajasthan, that sends 25 MPs to the Lok Sabha. With Congress winning the Rajasthan Assembly Elections in December 2018, the party will aim to maintain its winning streak. Here are the projections for Rajasthan: 

Seat-share projections

• UPA- 5
• NDA- 20

Vote-share projections:

• UPA- 41.4%
• NDA- 49.3%
• Others 9.2%

Will Congress manages to hold its victory or will the BJP manages to gain back the seats in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections?
