New Delhi: A day after most exit polls predicted a massive win for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has termed the exercise Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s \u201cfantasy poll\u201d.<\/p>\n
Asked how many seats the INDIA Opposition bloc will win, Mr Gandhi referred to the popular song by Punjabi singer, late Sidhu Moose Wala, and stressed that INDIA will win 295 out of the 543 Lok Sabha seats. \u201cHave you heard Sidhu Moose Wala\u2019s song 295? 295,\u201d Mr Gandhi told news agency ANI, less than 48 hours before counting begins Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Exit polls have predicted a stunning victory for the BJP, with some pollsters claiming that the BJP-led NDA\u2019s score may well cross the 400 mark \u2013 a target set by the BJP with its \u2018ab ki baar 400 par\u2019 slogan. A key health warning, however, is that exit polls do not always get it right.<\/p>\n
Following a meeting of INDIA bloc leaders after the seventh phase of polling yesterday, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the INDIA bloc will win more than 295 seats after conducting a \u201cpeople\u2019s survey\u201d.<\/p>\n
Samajwadi Party chief and INDIA bloc leader Akhilesh Yadav, meanwhile, has put out a post, questioning the exit poll predictions.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstand the chronology of exit polls. The Opposition had earlier announced that the media will predict that the BJP is crossing 300 so that there is scope for scam,\u201d he said. Mr Yadav claimed that these exit poll predictions were prepped months back. \u201cBJP supporters want to maximise share market profits using these exit polls. Their faces are telling the tale,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Yadav asked INDIA bloc\u2019s workers and functionaries to keep a close eye on Electronic Voting Machines ahead of the counting day. \u201cStay alert, get the counting done and celebrate only after collecting the winner\u2019s certificate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
