Exit Polls 2024: How Leaders Across Party Lines React To Pollsters' Predictions

The exit poll results for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are out, and surveys by several pollsters predict the return of the Narendra Modi government for the third consecutive term.

These surveys will provide early predictions for this year’s general election outcomes before the official results, which will be announced by the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Tuesday, June 4.

Several political leaders have reacted to the pollsters’ predictions. While many BJP leaders welcomed the survey results, Congress dismissed them as inaccurate.

NDA Leaders’ Reaction To The Survey

“This is in line with PM’s ‘abki baar 400 paar‘ vision”: Tejasvi Surya

“Almost all exit polls are predicting a massive victory for the Narendra Modi-led BJP and the NDA. This is in line with the ‘abki baar 400 paar’ vision of the PM. The last 10 years have been truly transformative for the country. Under the PM’s leadership, the country has become more prosperous, we have lifted 25 crore people out of poverty and the country is more secure,” BJP leader Tejasvi Surya stated.

‘BJP alone will win 370 seats’: Shivraj Singh Chouhan

“The BJP, along with the NDA, will cross the 400-seat mark. The BJP alone will win 370 seats. The trust for PM Modi in the nation is unparallel,” said former Madhya Pradesh CM and senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan.

‘We are winning all 25 seats in Rajasthan’: Bhajanlal Sharma

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma said, “The people of our country can see the rising stature of India in the world… People have faith in the Prime Minister… BJP is coming back with a huge majority… We are winning all 25 seats in Rajasthan.”

‘BJP will do a hattrick in Gujarat’: Vijay Rupani

Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said, “The slogan of ‘400 paar’ was our goal… It was our confidence… The Congress already knows so they boycotted the Exit Polls. They don’t believe in the Exit polls and after the results, they will not believe in the EVM also… The BJP will do a hattrick in Gujarat and win all 26 seats.”

INDIA Bloc Leaders’ Take On The Survey

‘Exit polls are deeply unscientific’: Shashi Tharoor

“We are very happy to wait and see what the votes actually tell us. Exit polls are deeply unscientific and we all know this. Last year, the majority of exit polls got the results wrong in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan,” Congress Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor commented.

‘Will shave off my head if Modi becomes PM for third time’: Somnath Bharti

Three-time AAP MLA Somnath Bharti has challenged that he will shave off his hair if Modi becomes Prime Minister for a third time, asserting that all exit poll results will be proven wrong.

“I will shave off my head if Mr Modi becomes PM for the third time. Mark my word!,” Bharti wrote in a post on X.

He further added, “All exit polls will be proven wrong on 4th June and Modi ji will not become prime minister for the third time. In Delhi, all seven seats will go to India ALLIANCE.”

‘These are Narendra Modi’s exit polls’: Supriya Shrinate

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate dismissed the exit poll surveys as “Narendra Modi’s exit polls.”

“The exit poll from the public gives 295 seats to INDIA, and this number will only increase,” Shrinate noted.

‘These are all psychological games’: Jairam Ramesh

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh in a post on X wrote, “The man whose exit is certain on June 4th has had these exit polls orchestrated. The INDIA Janbandhan will definitely get a minimum of 295 seats, which is a clear and decisive majority. The outgoing Prime Minister can remain smug for three days in the meanwhile. These are all psychological games he is masterminding but the ACTUAL results will be very different.”

‘Exit polls are based on pre-poll surveys’: Harish Singh Rawat

Former Uttarakhand CM and senior Congress leader Harish Singh Rawat commented, “As per our assessment, we, along with the TMC, will win around 300 seats and the INDIA alliance will form the government. I feel that the exit polls are based on pre-poll surveys conducted by the (media) organisations. There has been a huge change in the mindset of the public over the past 2.5 months and people want a change now.”

‘It is a calculated conspiracy’: Hannan Mollah

CPI(M) leader Hannan Mollah remarked, “Positive results are coming from different parts of the country against the Narendra Modi government. From today onwards, supporters of Modi will form a group and continue to campaign in the name of exit polls to dishearten the other camp. It is a calculated conspiracy.”

‘INDIA alliance will surely win more than 295 seats’: Champai Soren

Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren said, “We have analysed the reports from every state (during the INDIA alliance meeting today). The INDIA alliance will surely win more than 295 seats and there is no doubt about that.”
