Exit polls conducted during the assembly polls last year had predicted that the Congress would not win, but they were wrong. “These polls had, in fact, given 80-85 seats for the Congress, but I had predicted we would win 136 seats as our own internal survey revealed. We eventually won 136 seats,” he told the media in Bengaluru.
The Congress has dismissed exit poll predictions suggesting the BJP being in the lead as flawed.
Exit polls, Shivakumar said, would go by a small sample size of about 5000 people, leading to incorrect forecasts. People, especially women, have reposed faith in the Congress party’s guarantee schemes which was why they have supported the party. “I won’t comment on the national results, but we will surely cross double digits in Karnataka,” the Dy CM said.
