Exit Polls will prove to be pre-obituary for Modi Govt: Congress

 Hyderabad, May 21: Completely dismissing the projections done in the Exit Polls, the Congress party on Tuesday claimed that the victory of Congress-led UPA was a certainty and a few agencies and media houses were predicting the victory of BJP-led NDA only due to fear or greed.



Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Treasurer Gudur Narayana Reddy, in a media statement, said that the people need to observe the language and content being used by the news channels to predict PM Modi's victory. He pointed out that the BJP alone had won 282 seats in 2014 elections. But this time, the entire National Democratic Alliance (NDA), including BJP, is expected to get around 275-285. "No channel is showing a State-wise break-up of seats likely to be won by the BJP in comparison with 2014 elections. Similarly, while the average seats predicted to be won by the Congress are being shown as higher than 2014. However, no channel has praised the leadership of Congress president Rahul Gandhi for increasing his party's tally by more than three times compared to 2014. The Exit Poll figures are not just numbers, but they are a temporary shield for many media houses and institutions to hide behind till the declaration of actual results on May 23," he said.



Gudur Narayana Reddy said that the Exit Polls were clearly manipulated as they have been conducted by Modi's gang of sycophants to please their boss for the last time. He said there was a huge difference between the findings of different agencies and there was absolutely no scientific basis or ground work done to get those outcomes. He said there was no wave in favour of BJP of Narendra Modi at the ground level anywhere in the country in 2019 elections. In the last elections, people were certainly impressed and influenced by Modi's promises of depositing Rs. 15 lakh in each account, giving 2 crore jobs every year and his tall talks on having 56 inch chest. However, people have witnessed a worst ever government under Modi and no one could ever forgot the devastation caused due to demonitisation and GST. Therefore, there was no possibility of any Modi wave which a few news channels tried to create post-elections in their Exit Polls.



He said all the praises showered upon BJP by a section of media would prove to be text for an obituary to be written on Modi Govt on May 23.



The Congress leader alleged that BJP have amassed huge illegal wealth by conducting Rafale scam and other misappropriations. He said that the same ill-gotten money was now being used by the BJP leaders to conduct fake Exit Polls and other surveys. He said that fake Exit Poll figures were aimed at terrorising the regional parties from joining the Congress-led UPA or supporting it. An impression was created that Modi was still very powerful and he could win in the number games in the Lok Sabha if case of a hung Parliament. He said that the entire Exit Poll drama was enacted to destablise the political system and give shock to regional parties. "The Exit Poll is also leading to several suspicions on the reliability of EVMs. On what basis some firms are giving these figures? Are they hand-in glove with the EVM manipulation theory?" he asked while adding that the reports of movement of EVMs have started pouring in from various parts of the country after the Exit Polls.
