The BJP-led NDA is projected to form the next govt at the Centre with exit polls tonight giving between 249 and 290 seats to the Narendra Modi-led grouping, which is close to the half-way mark of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha. The ruling Congress-led UPA was tipped to get between 101 and 148 seats while ''others', including regional parties and Left, were projected to get between 146 and 156 seats, according to the polls shown on TV channels at the end of the polls today.
It may be noted that in 2004 exit poll predictions went horribly wrong and NDA led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee could not form the govt at the Centre.
