Congress pooh-poohs exit polls

Unfazed by exit polls giving Narendra Modi a third term in Gujarat, the Congress described the election surveys as an ‘exercise of hazard and peril’ and expressed confidence about forming the next Government in the state. Reacting to exit polls predicting that BJP would remain in power in Gujarat, AICC spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi cited the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh as examples demonstrating the non-reliability of the surveys.

"These examples can be duplicated and I don't believe in embarking on hazardous, frivolous exercises. I believe in what the party sources, the cadres and the workers have to say,"
Singhvi said.

"We are heading towards a big, significant, unequivocally clear majority in Gujarat," he said.
The Congress, which has gone into the elections with the feeling that this was their best ever chance to defeat the BJP in the state, is relying on the combination of anti-Modi factors to do the trick for them.
