After the conclusion of Lok Sabha Elections of 2019, many analyses on the results were done.
According to a Business Standard report, about 61 crores voters had exercised their franchise in the Lok Sabha elections 2019, out of the total voting-eligible population of about 90.99 crores in India.
The estimates suggest that BJP had a vote share of about 37.5% and NDA about 45%.
Thus, in an election campaign which was seen as a referendum on PM Narendra Modi, Bhartiya Janata Party under his leadership got more than 22.5 crore votes whereas National Democratic Alliance led by BJP has received more than 27 crore votes.
But in a democratic polity, the number of votes at this scale show the popularity of the leader.
In fact, with 27 crore votes, PM Modi is now a leader who has got the highest number of votes ever in a democratic country in history.
