Kamal Haasan's kamaal in Kanchipuram exit poll

May 22, 2019 12:19

While the exit poll results have led to a mad scramble among political parties, one finding in particular has left many baffled.

A survey in Tamil Nadu predicted Kamal Haasan's Makkal Neethi Mariam bagging 3-6 per cent of the votes polled in the Kanchipuram constituency.

But the problem is that the party did not contest that constituency because the Election Commission of India did not give permission to its candidate to contest.

The television channel that commissioned the survey admitted the mistake and said that it was "a human error".
