Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], June 2 (ANI): RSP leader Shibu Baby John on Sunday questioned the predictions of the exit polls, saying that the BJP will get much fewer seats than what was predicted by these polls.
“This projection of 350 seats for the BJP and all is not going to happen. It will be much lower than what was predicted,” John told ANI.

“It (the exit poll result) is not the correct mood of the country. As far as Kerala is concerned, even last election and in 2014 all exit polls predicted one seat for the NDA. It never happened. Now a survey has predicted 1 to 3 seats for the NDA. I am 100% sure it is not going to happen as far as Kerala is concerned,” he said.
