The stock market took a big hit, the worst since March 2020, and it erased all the gains made on Monday. This happened because exit polls indicated that the BJP-led alliance is likely to win a two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha. But as the official counting of the election continues, the BJP led NDA government is leading tally but the seat count narrows.
