The sub-totals in the results table are incorrect. The change for INDIA should be +114 (it says +143). AnshJuneja (talk) 02:47, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor UI change suggestion[edit]

when looking the data of seats contested, the Seats won part is visible without any sliding in case of NDA whereas the same isn't visible for INDIA and needs manual interference

Not really a significant edit, just though would mention this as the gap is more in case of the latter, hindering the visibility of the later columns in smaller screen devices(though still available, hence it's just a suggestion that you reduce the gaps there if you think it's relevant enough,Just thought would bring it up to speed as most editors are not exactly mobile users always) AakashHereNow (talk) 05:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Number of votes[edit]

Alliance percentage 42.5% 40.6% Popular vote 235,973,935 136,759,064 2% difference has lead to nearly 100 million difference? India's population must be 50 billion in that case

also could TMC be included in the map under INDIA, TMC is now considering itself a member but i can understand why it might be given another colour LostCitrationHunter (talk) 14:45, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
