New Delhi: A post-poll analysis conducted by CNN-IBN in association with the Centre for Study of Developing Societies shows the Congress-led UPA is projected to have a slight edge over NDA and others in the Lok Sabha elections.
According to the study, Congress+ is likely to get anywhere between 185 and 205 seats, BJP+ is projected to get a close figure of anywhere between 165 and 185 seats.
The Third Front – likely to play the kingmakers if it doesn’t disintegrate – is likely to get 110 to 130 seats and the Fourth Front likely to get 25 to 35 seats. Others could get between 20 and 30 seats
