New Delhi:
With just five days to go for the first phase of polling for the high-voltage Lok Sabha elections, people are curious to know which party will form the next government and who will emerge as their prime minister.

The BJP is expected to win 21 out of 26 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The Congress is likely to win the remaining five seats.
As per the opinion poll, the BJP will garner 49 per cent of the total vote share while the Congress will get 41 per cent votes.
In 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, the BJP for the first time won all the 26 seats in Gujarat.
Gujarat will go for polls in the third phase on April 23. Polling in all 26 Lok Sabha seats will be held in a single phase.
The BJP will try to retain all the 26 seats in the state but the results of the 2017 Assembly polls were an eye-opener for the party.
