We are getting 295: Rahul Gandhi dismisses 'Modi media poll'; Brings up Sidhu Moosewala's song

After participating in a virtual conference with Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi referred to the exit polls as Modiji's dream poll, even though all of them had predicted a resounding victory for the BJP-led alliance in the 18th Lok Sabha polls. On Sunday, June 2, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi offered his initial response to the exit poll. He said this is a Modi media poll rather than an exit survey. This poll is for Modi. The poll is a fictional one. Following a meeting with leaders at the Congress headquarters, Rahul made this declaration. In a virtual conference with the party's Lok Sabha candidates, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, MP Rahul Gandhi, and party general secretary KC Venugopal discussed tactics and preparations for the counting day on June 4.

RaGa bashes media!

"This is a Modi Media survey, not an exit survey. This is a fantasy poll for Modiji. "Have you listened to Sidhu Moose Wala's song 295? We are going to win 295 seats," Congressman Rahul Gandhi remarked in response to a question from the media following the party leaders' meeting at the headquarters. Notably, today at 4:30 pm in Nirvachan Sadan in New Delhi, the delegation from the INDIA bloc will meet with the Election Commission.

Is the Modi government set for a third run?

The purpose of the discussion was to talk about the plan for June 4th's counting day. The Exit Poll predictions that showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi regaining power with a larger mandate have been dismissed by the Congress party. Prime Minister Narendra Modi would become the only Prime Minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to win three consecutive terms in the Lok Sabha elections if the exit poll predictions come true on June 4, when the votes are tabulated.

With PM Modi spearheading the BJP's election campaign with rallies and roadshows around the nation, the exit polls projected a "Modi 3.0." According to exit polls conducted on Saturday, Prime Minister Modi will serve a third consecutive term in office, and the BJP-led NDA is anticipated to secure a sizable majority in the Lok Sabha. 

Exit polls contradict RaGa!

In the 543-member Lok Sabha, the ABP-C Voter anticipated 353–383 seats for the ruling alliance and 152-182 seats for the opposition INDIA bloc, while India Today-Axis My India predicted 361-401 seats for the BJP-led alliance and 131-166 seats for the INDIA bloc. The National Democratic Alliance, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party, is expected to win more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, according to three pollsters published on Saturday: India TV, Chanakya of News 24-Today, and India Today.

According to exit surveys conducted on Saturday, the saffron party's vote share is expected to increase nationwide. The NDA is expected to win between 360 and 401 seats when the results are tallied on Tuesday, June 4. While other parties are expected to take the remaining seats, the INDIA bloc, a massive alliance, is predicted to win 131–166 seats.
