Bookies were predicting about 280 seats for NDA prior to the airstrike, with BJP winning over 200 seats. But the mood has changed after the Balakot airstrike, they now say. The bazaar believes that the airstrike after Pulwama terror attack has swung voters' sentiment in favour of BJP. Consequently, it has lowered the number of seats for Congress to 72-74 from 100 predicted earlier.
