Congress Workers Put on Brave Face After Exit Poll Results

-


New Delhi: A day after exit polls painted a grim picture for the Congress, the party headquarters here wore a deserted look even though a handful of workers present there rejected the forecast that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would return to power.

Most exit polls Sunday predicted another term for Modi, with some of them projecting that BJP-led NDA will get more than 300 seats to comfortably cross the majority mark of 272 in the Lok Sabha.

The usual commotion at the Congress headquarters was missing Monday morning, which party workers said was due to a “false atmosphere” created by the exit polls.

“We would definitely perform better. And if we don’t, then manipulation of EVMs might have been done,” said Ram Singh, a Congress worker.

He was joined by other party colleagues who concurred that there will be a tough fight between the two parties and the Congress’ tally would be much better than it was in 2014, when the party had won just 44 seats.

Charan Kumar, another Congress worker, watched on TV BJP leaders’ reaction to the exit polls. “It has been done to create an atmosphere in favour of Modi,” he inferred.

But another party worker, Surya Tripathi, gave it a different spin.

“The Sensex climbed 900 points in one minute on Monday. That is not a joke. It (exit poll predicting an NDA victory) was done to benefit traders, who invest in the stock market and who also form the biggest vote base of Modi,” he said.

Congress worker Suresh Singh travelled well over 900 km, from Balia in Uttar Pradesh to the party headquarters in New Delhi. “On Thursday, I know there would be celebration here and the grand old party would emerge victorious,” he said.

He questioned the credibility of exit polls, pointing out that they varied widely as far as projection for his state is concerned.

“For the NDA, some are predicting 22 seas in Uttar Pradesh while others are giving 52. Here lies the clue to the credibility of the exit polls and their chances of going wrong,” said Singh.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi are protected by the elite Special Protection Group (SPG), other prominent politicians are guarded by central forces like the NSG, CRPF, CISF and ITBP, as they travel thousands of kilometres each day canvassing for their parties. “In all, about 2,000 commandos are on ground and are rotated in shifts, apart from 120 young officers as party of the central security cover to the politicians.
