BJP savours exit poll projections, Congress, JD(U) dismiss it

An upbeat BJP claimed it will do better than what the exit polls have predicted, stressing that the NDA will cross the 300-seat mark.

BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said NDA will surpass its average tally of 270-275 given to it as the coalition will sweep Seemandhra in alliance with TDP and do better in other places.

Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley took a jibe at Congress,saying if the ruling party was finding it difficult to accept reality now they should accept defeat on May 16.

Congress while dismissing the exit poll projections of a dismal performance by it, said a sample survey of a few lakh people cannot predict Lok Sabha election results.
