Rahul would rather wait for d-day, dismisses exit polls as 'modi media poll'

He also said that the exit polls that came out Saturday evening are "completely bogus" and have been "orchestrated and masterminded by the man whose exit is inevitable and

guaranteed on June 4". "These are all part of the psychological games being played by the outgoing prime minister (Narendra Modi) and the outgoing home minister (Amit Shah). The

outgoing home minister called up 150 District Magistrates and collectors yesterday. The results that the exit polls have come up with bear no relation to reality," the Congress leader

claimed. "It flies in the face of all political feedback. The INDIA 'janbandhan' parties met yesterday, we went through state-wise analysis and there is no way INDIA

janbandhan is going to get less than 295 seats," Ramesh said. "This is a deliberate attempt to justify rigging, this is a deliberate attempt to justify manipulation of EVMs and

this is also psychological ops to lower the morale of the Congress workers and the INDIA janbandhan workers. We are not going to be frightened, we are not going to be intimidated and you

will see that the actual results on June 4 will be completely different from what these exit polls show," the Congress general secretary said. These are political exit polls and not

professional exit polls, he added. Ramesh pointed out that Congress treasurer and senior leader Ajay Maken has raised the issue of candidates' counting agents at the Assistant Returning

Officer (ARO) table not being allowed. "He (Maken) has raised this issue, there has been some response from the CEO of Delhi but the fact of the matter is that he raised this issue

based on legitimate fears that had been expressed by the candidates. We have raised the issue of the counting of postal ballots and the effort of the Election Commission to change the

methodology that has been part of the law," Ramesh said. He said the Congress has raised all such issues before the poll watchdog and had filed 117 complaints to it over the lass 77

days, 14 of which are against the PM. "There has been no credible action from the EC. It is a constitutional body and we expect it to function in an impartial, professional manner and

must give us the confidence that it is on top of the job," he said. "We have sought time from the EC on the postal ballots issue. We are hopeful that we will get time from the EC

which should be accessible to all political parties and should not function like an extended arm of the ruling party. So we are hopeful that we will get time from the EC," the Congress

general secretary said. Ramesh reiterated that the exit polls have been "deliberately engineered by the man whose exit is inevitable on June 4". On the slew of meetings being held

by the PM on Sunday, Ramesh said, "All mind games being played, the fact that the outgoing home minister is talking to 150 DMs and collectors and the fact that the outgoing PM is

talking to secretaries on his so called plan. He needs a 100-day plan of what he is going to do after June 4." The counting of votes will take place on June 4.
