After the exit polls predicted a clear majority for the ruling NDA alliance at the Centre, several opposition leaders are having meetings today to chalk out post-poll strategies before the Lok Sabha election results are out on Thursday, 23 May.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who had formed a coalition with the BSP and the RLD to take on the BJP, drove to the Lucknow residence of BSP supremo Mayawati today for a meeting, PTI reported.

TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu, who has been meeting leaders of regional and opposition parties over the last few days, will meet TMC supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat later in the day.

Earlier on Saturday, Naidu had 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.
