Rejecting exit polls that gave BJP a clear lead in Uttar Pradesh, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Friday claimed his alliance with the Samajwadi Party is winning the state.
“We will win in Uttar Pradesh. Exit polls projections in Bihar were wrong. We will talk on 11 March,” he said.
In November 2015 Bihar election, most pollsters had predicted a Narendra Modi wave in Bihar and a BJP victory in the state.
On Friday evening, while the TV channels were busy discussing the exit polls, Rahul Gandhi’s ally and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav told the BBC that he is ready for an alliance with arch rival Mayawati’s Bahujan Samaj Party in case Uttar Pradesh throws a hung verdict.
