Cong dismisses exit poll projections

May 13, 2014 11:06

Congress today dismissed exit poll projections of a dismal performance by it, saying a sample survey of a few lakh people cannot predict Lok Sabha election results.

"In a country of 800 million voters how can few lakh sample size surveys predict the result? Let's wait for 16th May (when votes will be counted)," Congress leader Digvijaya Singh tweeted this morning.

Party General Secretary Shakeel Ahmed has also dismissed exit and opinion polls. He has said that they were proved wrong in the 2004 and 2009 elections and the party would wait for the actual results on May 16.
