NEW DELHI — Exit polls painted a grim picture for the Congress but party workers remain unfazed, asserting that the 2019 Lok Sabha Election results on 23 May would not be as one-sided as projected. Most exit polls Sunday forecast another term for Prime Minister Narendra 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. Even as the atmosphere at the Congress headquarters remained sombre Monday morning, party workers rejected the exit polls and said 23 May would give results quite different from the projections. “The exit polls are an attempt by the BJP to spread rumours and they might try to manipulate EVMs after creating such atmosphere,” said Congress worker Jagdish Sharma. We have seen the real atmosphere at the ground and no one is believing the exit polls except the BJP,” he said.
