BJP General Secretary Tarun Chugh has expressed confidence that the BJP-led NDA  will retain power. Talking to Akashvani in New Delhi today, Mr Chugh said, just 4 to 5 rounds of counting have been done so far and  BJP will definitely emerge victorious after the completion of all rounds of counting.  

Congress leader Ragini Naik said that the INDIA bloc will emerge victorious and will win more seats. Talking exclusively to Akashwani News, Ragini Naik said, the NDA will be unable to cross 272-seat mark required to form the government.
