Hyderabad: Dismissing some exit poll surveys that suggested that the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is going to lose in the assembly elections, the party’s working president K T Rama Rao on Thursday, November 30, said the party would come back to power with over 70 seats.
Addressing a press conference, KTR said that in 2018 some of the exit polls had wrongly predicted that BRS would lose, but the results proved otherwise. “I promise you, for those of you who are friends of BRS and want KCR to come back…, I promise you on December 3 (counting day) we are coming back. We are coming back with anywhere above 70 seats,” he said.
Telangana exit poll results 2023 released
Polling for Telangana’s 119 seats assembly concluded on Thursday and the result will be announced after votes are counted on December 3.
“In the name of exit polls, those who create nuisance and nonsense, there will be egg on your face and your reputation is at stake,” he said.
He said that earlier the party had predicted it would get over 88 seats, but due to “some problems here and there”, the figure was slashed down.
KTR also suggested that some of the survey firms should apologise if their predictions go wrong. He also found fault with the Election Commission for allowing exit polls to be aired at 5.30 PM even while some of the voters were still in queue to vote.
