Lok Sabha Election 2024 Results LIVE: INDIA blocks NDA, markets bleed

 Lok Sabha Election 2024 Results:: Today's crash brought bitter memories of 2004 in investors' minds. Sensex had crashed over 15 per cent on May 17, 2004, its biggest ever percentage fall ever, following a surprise NDA loss. On the other hand, stock indices had hit two upper circuits following UPA II's comeback on May 18, 2009. Markets don't like uncertainty -- it likes political continuity.
