Patna (Bihar) [India], June 1 (ANI): RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav on Saturday questioned the credibility of recent exit polls, alleging that the surveys were conducted without an on-ground presence in rural areas and reports were created in AC rooms.
He added that an INDIA bloc government would be formed.
“When people came out and voted in temperatures as high as 49 degrees Celsius, no media person was seen in villages and small towns. They have created this survey report by sitting in AC rooms… The country’s government is going to go in the hands of the INDIA bloc,” he said.
The exit polls on Saturday predicted a comfortable victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar in the Lok Sabha polls.
Bihar’s voting was conducted in all seven phases for 40 Lok Sabha seats.
According to the Republic Bharat Matrize Exit Poll, the NDA is projected to win between 32-37 seats, while the INDIA bloc may secure between 2-7 seats.
The REPUBLIC-P Marq Exit Poll forecasts the NDA winning 37 seats and the INDIA bloc securing 3 seats in Bihar.
The News 24-Today’s Chanakya exit poll predicts the NDA will win 36 seats, with the INDIA bloc taking 4 seats.
The India Today-Axis My India poll suggests the BJP will win 13-15 seats, while the Janata Dal (United) (JDU) is expected to win 9-11 seats. The Congress could win 1-2 seats, and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is projected to secure 6-7 seats. Other parties might win between 1 and 6 seats.
Exit polls are surveys conducted immediately after voters leave polling stations, providing an early indication of election outcomes. However, these predictions are based on surveys, and the final results may vary.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the NDA, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contested 17 seats, Janata Dal-United (JDU) on 16 seats, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) (Ram Vilas) on 5 seats, Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha on one seat each.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA, consisting of BJP, JDU (Janata Dal-United), and LJP (Lok Janshakti Party), secured victory by taking the lead on 39 out of 40 seats.
Meanwhile, the Mahagathbandhan, led by RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal), Congress, and RLSP (Rashtriya Lok Samta Party), only managed to secure one seat.
The voting for the 543-member Lok Sabha was held across seven phases. Votes will be counted on June 4. (ANI)
