"The exit polls largely reflect the reality on ground though we feel we will get more seats than what is being predicted," said another BJP leader Prakash Javadekar.
Javadekar said the BJP was likely to gain a 14 percent vote share over the 2009 election, leaving the Congress decimated. "People have voted very enthusiastically and decisively for us."
Political analyst G.V.L. Narasimha Rao, who is now with the BJP, however feels the party will win 253 seats on its own while the NDA in all was set to get 303 seats.
BJP general secretary Amit Shah has said he expects 250-260 seats for his party in the 545-member Lok Sabha.
Modi, who led an aggressive campaign for the BJP after being named the prime ministerial candidate last year, is now in Gujarat, whose government he still heads, Naqvi told IANS. Naqvi said he was not sure if Modi will be in Delhi during the vote count Friday.
The BJP gave a 13-day government and later a six-year government from 1998 to 2004, both led by the now ailing Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
