    election stocks to buy: Election stocks to buy: Over 50 ideas for investors betting their house on Modi’s victory


    Led apparently by heavy short-covering by FIIs, Nifty zoomed around 3% and Sensex shot up to 2,778 points on Monday morning after exit polls surprised the stock market by predicting a landslide victory for NDA. “Aayega To Modi” slogan became an investing strategy as traders were seen buying Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s favourite PSUs lock, stock and barrel.

    Dalal Street‘s fear index India VIX also slumped 20% as all sectoral indices were swamped in a flood of green.

    “If the Lok Sabha results on 4th June materialize as per the Exit Poll direction, our country will likely enter a “Golden Phase” of political stability and policy continuity. The Indian economy is in a sweet spot of growth and remains the land of stability against the backdrop of a volatile global economy. With this expectation of political stability and policy continuity, the prospects of the Indian economy appear notably brighter and more promising in the upcoming years,” said Neeraj Chadawar of Axis Securities.

    According to the average of 12 exit polls, NDA is seen as winning 367 seats this time, improving its 353 count in the 2019 elections. Even the lowest forecast is that of 316 seats. While the NDA may fall short of its ambitious ‘Abki Baar 400 Paar’ target, traders see Nifty going beyond 24,000 this week.
