'We're not surprised, BJP is coming back with full majority’: BSY on K’taka exit polls

Multiple exit polls on Sunday predicted that the BJP will win a majority of the seats in Karnataka in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. According to BJP leaders in the state, the exit polls reaffirmed that the party will at least meet its expectation of winning 22 seats. 

A few exit polls, particularly the exit poll released by India Today- My Axis, suggested that the BJP would even exceed its expectations and win more than 22 seats in the state.   

"The exit polls have shown that we will win more seats than what we promised. People did not take me seriously when I said Karnataka will win 22 seats. Now it may come as a surprise to you all but we can see clearly that the BJP is coming back with full majority. We feel like we are getting what we deserve after the state elections last year", BJP State President BS Yeddyurappa told reporters. 

He further added, "Siddaramaiah has admitted that the coalition has not worked for them. Let us wait till 23rd and we are confident we will win 22 seats in Karnataka and 300+ in the country."

Meanwhile, Congress leaders stated that the exit polls may not be an indicator of what the results reveal on May 23. "The exit polls have predicted a BJP win. But if you depend on just exit polls, there is no need to count the actual votes. It doesn't work like that. Exit polls are wrong often. Even in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh elections, the exit polls were wrong. It is not an indicator of what will happen. We need to have patience," Revenue Minister RV Deshpande told reporters.
