Counting of Lok Sabha Elections in India is underway. In some constituencies the candidates sometimes advance and after a while fall behind the opposition. Counting begins after three hours, but it is difficult to say for sure who will win among the dominant candidates.
However, the situation cannot be said to be going in the direction that Narendra Modi-led NDA coalition was talking about in Boothferrat survey. So far, the postal ballot and EVM results show that the Congress and its alliance have managed to hold a relatively good position in India.
