Siddaramaiah dismisses exit polls as entertainment, tells Cong workers to relax
May 13, 2018

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday asked Congress workers and supporters not to worry about exit polls, most of which predicted a hung assembly, dismissing the post-poll surveys as entertainment. 

Tweeting a day after Karnataka recorded 70 per cent turnout in assembly elections, Siddaramaiah said the Congress would return to power.

Most exit polls have predicted a tight race between the Congress and the BJP with the possibility of the Janata Dal-Secular emerging as the kingmaker. Republic TV-Jan Ki Baat and ABP-C Voter predicted that the BJP will emerge as the single largest party by bagging 104 and 104-116 seats, respectively, in the 224-member House.
