‘Wait & See’: Sonia Gandhi Says In Her 1st Reaction To LS Exit Poll Results

New Delhi: Congress leader Sonia Gandhi on Monday reacted to exit poll projections and said that the party is very hopeful that the results of the Lok Sabha elections 2024 will be totally opposite to what has been predicted by the pollsters.

“We have to wait, just wait and see,” Sonia Gandhi told news agency PTI when asked about her expectations from the election results scheduled to be announced on Tuesday, June 4.

“We are very hopeful that our results are completely opposite to what the exit polls are showing,” the former Congress president said.

Most exit polls have predicted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will retain power for a third straight term, with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA expected to win a big majority in the Lok Sabha elections.

While some exit polls have given the NDA more than 400 seats, most have predicted that it will win over 350, which is way above the majority mark of 272 seats needed to form the government.
While rejecting the exit poll results, the Congress and other INDIA bloc parties have claimed that these surveys were a work of “fantasy” and asserting that the opposition alliance will form the next government.
“This is not called an exit poll but its name is ‘Modi media poll’. This is Modi ji’s poll, it is his fantasy poll,” former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said on Sunday.
Congress leaders have claimed that the INDIA bloc will win 295 seats and form the government.
