Add Rahul Gandhi as party face for congress instead of kharge ji

Not done: Gandhi was not yet the leader of INC at the time of the election. Day Creature (talk) 14:43, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Removed private survey findings from official results section

Somebody added this in the results section. I have removed it as the findings are from sample surveys by private agencies and therefore have not much relevance in official elections results declared by Election Commission of India.

Education-level analysis
It shows significant outliers. The INDIA Block dominates among illiterate voters with 49.6% of the vote share, compared to the NDA’s 36.4%, resulting in a -13.2% deficit for the NDA. This reflects the INDIA Block's resonance with economically and socially marginalized groups. In contrast, the NDA has a clear advantage among voters with higher education. Professionals strongly favor the NDA, which leads with 44.4% against the INDIA Block’s 30.6%, marking its largest demographic advantage of 13.8%. Similarly, the NDA enjoys an 11.5% lead among post-graduates. These trends highlight the NDA’s appeal among more affluent, urban, and educated voters.
At intermediate education levels, such as high school and higher secondary, the competition is closer. The NDA leads by 1.5% and 4%, respectively, in these segments. Among voters with non-formal education, the NDA also maintains a 4.1% lead. Overall, the INDIA Block’s strength among illiterate voters contrasts sharply with the NDA’s dominance among the highly educated and professionals. Coupled with its narrow gender gap, the INDIA Block has an opportunity to further mobilize less-educated voters, while the NDA’s focus on urban and educated demographics could shape its electoral strategy.[1][2][3][4]
