The Modi wave was evident as the results poured out during the Friday finale with the NDA taking away over 320 seats in the Lok Sabha.

The Bharatiya Janata Party, driven by its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, scripted history on Friday as it went well above the half-way mark of 272 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. While the party with some surprising wins in West Bengal and down south, became the biggest gainer in this election, it was the incumbent ruling party Congress that became the biggest loser across the country.

The Modi wave was evident as results poured in during the Friday finale with the NDA taking over 320 seats in the Lok Sabha. On the other hand, scams, inflation and a failed campaign saw Congress being reduced to a double figure party like other regional parties.

Even more surprising was the surge in the number of seats for Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and Jayalalithaa's AIADMK. TMC's star candidate Moon Moon Sen was among the big winners of West Bengal and so was the BJP's Babul Supriyo.

Following are some of the big winners this election:

1) Narendra Modi (BJP) - Vadodara, Varanasi

2) Yogi Adityanath (BJP) - Gorakhpur

3) Sonia Gandhi (Congress) - Rae Bareli

4) Rahul Gandhi (Congress) - Amethi

5) Sushma Swaraj (BJP) - Vidisha

6) Kamal Nath (Congress) - Chhindwara

7) Paresh Rawal (BJP) - Ahmedabad East

8) LK Advani (BJP) - Gandhinagar

9) Uma Bharti (BJP) - Jhansi

10) Captain Amarinder Singh (Congress) - Amritsar

11) Kirron Kher (BJP) - Chandigarh
