New Delhi: Much like many leaders outside the National Democratic Alliance, Sharad Yadav, the leader of Loktantrik Janata Dal(LJD) has completely negated the predictions of the exit polls which were released on Sunday.
Speaking to Etv Bharat, the LJD leader said that exit polls cannot be taken as gospel truth. "Exit polls have been proven wrong a number of times in the past."
"Do people conducting exit polls take into account every section of the society?" he asked.
He further said, "This is not Europe. This is India and the country has lakhs of castes and communities."
Claiming that he has toured most of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Yadav said, "BJP is going to suffer setbacks, the exit polls are wrongly predicting the numbers. Exit polls are saying they (NDA)will get 40 seats in Bihar and are at the top in UP. There is a limit."
"Only Modi and Amit Shah are enjoying seeing the exit poll prediction. Everyone else is crying under the sheets," he added.
Almost every single exit poll predicted the Bharatiya Janata Party to lead the NDA and storm back to power but Yadav said that the result on May 23 will be completely different.
In Lok Sabha election 2019, Yadav contested from Madhepura seat in Bihar as a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) candidate under an alliance umbrella having Congress, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP), Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) and Vikassheel Insan Party (VIP) as the other parties.
Exit poll predictions, however, have not brought much good news for any of these parties as a majority of them predict BJP-JDU alliance to sweep Bihar.
