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

May 13, 2018 08:42

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.
