BJP seems to be back into the saddle in New Delhi. In what seems like a positive feedback for Modi, the nation seems to be telling pollsters that they want PM to have yet another term.
The BJP sweep is being ratified by all pollsters with even the worst case scenarios predicting ‘almost majority’ for Modi, while India Today- Axis My India claiming two third majority for the ruling party.
As expected Opposition parties have dismissed BJP win catagorically
I don’t trust Exit Poll gossip. The game plan is to manipulate or replace thousands of EVMs through this gossip. I appeal to all Opposition parties to be united, strong and bold. We will fight this battle together
