On Saturday, Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu met Mayawati in Lucknow. After the culmination of polls on Sunday, several exit polls on television channels have projected the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to retain power at the Centre with most pollsters giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi a clear majority again in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
