India TV-CNX Opinion Poll: Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) may score a clear majority with 315 seats in a House of 543, if Lok Sabha elections are held now, says India TV-CNX Opinion Poll projection, final results of which were telecast on the news channel today. 

The Congress-led opposition combine I.N.D.I.A may get 172 Lok Sabha seats, and 'Others' including regional parties and independents, may get 56 seats, according to the projections. 

The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) strength in Lok Sabha may get reduced from 303 to 293 this time, says the India TV-CNX Opinion Poll. On the other hand, the main opposition party Congress which has 52 seats, may increase its tally this time to 70, according to the projection.

Mamata Banerjee's All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) may emerge as the third largest party in Lok Sabha with 30 seats this time, up by eight from 22 seats it won last time. The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) from Tamil Nadu may emerge as fourth largest party with 21 seats, three seats less than last time. 

Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) may increase its tally from six at present to eight, while Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) may raise its tally from one seat at present to six Lok Sabha seats, if elections are held now. Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal (BJD) may increase its tally from 12 to 13, says the projection. Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena (Shinde) may find its strength reduced from twelve to four. 

The biggest win for PM Modi will be from Uttar Pradesh, where NDA may win 73 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats if elections are held now. Out of 73, BJP may win 71 seats in UP, while its ally Apna Dal may bag two. Opposition alliance I.N.D.I.A may win the remaining seven seats in UP, says the poll projection.  

BJP is going to sweep all 26 Lok Sabha seats from Gujarat and all five seats from Uttarakhand. NDA may win 18 out of 28 Lok Sabha seats from Karnataka, leaving ten seats for I.N.D.I.A,  according to the projection.  

On the other hand, I.N.D.I.A alliance, consisting of UDF and LDF,  may sweep all 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala, while in West Bengal, TMC-led I.N.D.I.A alliance may win 32 out of a total of 42 seats, leaving the remaining 10 seats for NDA.
