Amid reports suggesting possible dates for PM Modi's oath ceremony for a third term, fresh figures from the Satta Bazaar hint at a potential BJP rout in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
On Thursday, FPJ found that a message circulating on WhatsApp groups claims the numbers in the message are predictions from the country's top 10 Satta Bazaars. However, FPJ hasn't verified the viral message.
Seven out of ten Satta Bazaars anticipate NDA falling short of majority to form the government, while three predict a BJP-led NDA victory. These latest numbers sharply contrast with those reported a few days earlier.

All ten major Satta Bazaars are projecting a tough contest between Congress and BJP now, with some giving an edge to both. Although major opinion polls had predicted a landslide in favor of the NDA, ground realities evidently suggest the contest is evenly matched. The last phase of voting is on June 1, and the results will be out on June 4.
