Akhilesh Yadav Questions Accuracy of Exit Polls, Claims BJP Will Lose All 9 Seats in Uttar Pradesh on Elections Result D
Jaipur, November 22: Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday questioned the accuracy of exit polls, stating that they have often been wrong in the past and claimed that the BJP will be ousted from power in all nine seats of Uttar Pradesh on the polls result day. Speaking to ANI here in Jaipur, Akhilesh Yadav said, “We have always seen that the exit poll predictions have not always been accurate. Many experts who have conducted surveys earlier on elections have also not always been right. The public wants change. Everbody wants BJP to be ousted from power. In Uttar Pradesh, BJP will lose all 9 seats.”
The SP supremo Yadav also claimed that there was voter manipulation through police and administrative pressure during the elections. “In a democracy if police cast a vote, and if pressure is built through administerial officials then what will the public do. This a serious violation of the ‘one man, one vote right’ of BR Ambedkar. They want to snatch this right because they want to snatch all the other rights while in power as well.
