BJP Will Cross The Figure Given By Exit Polls: Minister Kiren Rijiju
NDTV
Kiren Rijiju said, "I think we will cross even the figures given by the exit polls. That is my personal reading power of the people and charismatic leadership of Mr Narendra Modi"
Union minister Kiren Rijiju, a veteran of many elections, told NDTV today that the strong support from Prime Minister Narendra Modi across the country will ensure that the BJP will be back in power for a historic third term, no matter what the Opposition says. The Opposition, he added, will soon have a rude awakening. As the BJP surpasses the prediction of the exit polls, the Congress will be routed in states "where they had some little hope," he added.
Three exit polls predicted yesterday that the NDA will hit the "400 paar" target.
An aggregate of 12 exit polls indicated that the NDA will get 365 seats, the INDIA bloc will get 146 seats. The BJP's individual score will be 317 seats and the Congress 61, up from the 52 seats it won in the last general election.
