Delhi Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Date: Delhi being a union territory fosters home to only seven seats in Lok Sabha assembly, but being the capital of the country, it is marked as the display of strength among the parties contesting the General Elections

The General Elections of 2024, is in touching distance, the race for the majority has commenced between different parties under the banners of two giant coalitions, i.e., NDA (National Democratic Alliance) and I.N.D.I.A (The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance).

While, the states with large number of seats like, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and West Bengal, are going to be the centre of attraction for the upcoming elections, the union territory of Delhi, with only seven seats under its belt, holds the title of being one of the most important places during any General Elections, as claiming majority in Delhi, is more about display of the might than numbers.
