In the past, exit polls have got it bang on and even miserably failed.
New Delhi: Most exit polls held by various channels have given the BJP-led NDA a clear majority. If right, there seems to have been an undercurrent favouring the BJP, and the reason for this is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Opposition did not have a PM candidate.
The biggest surprise is in Uttar Pradesh where the Yadavs seem to have held back their votes in favour of the Mahagatbandhan and favoured the BJP.
