Congress leader Rahul Gandhi dismissed exit poll predictions as mere “fantasy” and said like rapper Sidhu Moosewala’s song, the INDIA bloc will win over 295 seats this Lok Sabha polls.
Gandhi, who arrived at the Congress party headquarters to discuss preparations for the counting day, said exit polls were ‘Modi media polls’. “It is not exit poll, it is Modi media poll. It is his fantasy poll,” Gandhi said. When the Rae Bareli candidate was asked how many seats would INDIA bloc win this election, Gandhi said, “Have you heard Sidhu Moose Wala's song 295? 295,” ANI reported.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, party general secretaries Jairam Ramesh and K.C. Venugopal, along with other senior leaders interacted with the party's Lok Sabha candidates and reviewed the preparations for the counting day on June 4.
Dismissing exit polls, Ramesh said, “These exit polls are false. INDIA alliance is not going to get less than 295 seats. These exit polls are fake because PM Modi and Union HM Amit Shah are playing a psychological game. They are trying to put pressure on opposition parties, ECI, counting agents, returning officers and creating an environment that they are coming back but the reality is completely different,” ANI reported.
Ramesh charged, “The outgoing home minister called up 150 District Magistrates and collectors yesterday. The results that the exit polls have come up with bear no relation to reality.”
