Rahul Gandhi asks Congress workers to be alert and not be disheartened by exit polls

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday sought to bolster the morale of party workers by asking them to not be disheartened by "rumours" and "fake" exit poll results and urged them to be alert at their respective booths.

The Gandhi scion tweeted in Hindi.

The tweet roughly translates to: "The next 24 hours are very important. Be alert. And do not be scared. Do not be disheartened by "rumours" and "fake" exit poll results. Keep the faith in yourself and in the Congress party."

Most exit polls have predicted a majority for the BJP-led NDA, leaving the UPA far behind.

Earlier, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had also asked the party workers to stay positive.

Be on your guard on strong rooms and counting centres. We are sure our and your hard work will bear fruit," Priyanka said in the message.
