NDA will get 265 seats: poll

NEW DELHI, MARCH 27. The BJP-led NDA is likely to get over 265 seats in the coming Lok Sabha elections followed by the Congress and its allies at 196 plus seats, according to an opinion poll conducted for Zee News by Taleem, an institute of social scientists engaged in psephology.

The pre-poll survey was conducted through a ``stratified random sampling technique'' that covered 65 parliamentary constituencies across the country barring J&K, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.

It said Atal Bihari Vajpayee was still the ``first choice'' for Prime Minister with 51 per cent of the sample favouring him followed by the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi, at 28 per cent, a press release said.
