Modi, who faced the polls with the confidence of increasing his majority in Varanasi, witnessed a steep fall this time. Modi who had won by nearly four lakh votes over the Congress candidate in 2019, won only by one and a half lakh votes. At one stage, Modi was trailing. Congress candidate Ajay Rai was fielded against Modi. The NDA who had a confidence of winning more than 400 seats, could not even cross 300. The Modi government came back to power with the support of allied parties.
