On Rahul Gandhi’s Sidhu Moosewala’ quip on exit polls, BJP’s ‘daydreaming’ retort.

BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, reacting to Gandhi’s remark, said the National Democratic Alliance will win 400 seats. Reacting to the exit poll results that predicted yet another BJP landslide win in the Lok Sabha polls, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi referred to late singer Sidhu Moosewala’s ‘295’ song, indicating the INDIA bloc will eventually achieve its target of 295 seats. Gandhi sought to discredit the exit polls, claiming “they were Modi media poll and fantasy poll”. The BJP, jubilant after the exit poll results, dismissed Gandhi’s optimism as “daydreaming”. “Sidhu Moose Wala ka song suna hai aapne? (have you heard Sidhu Moosewala’s song)” he quipped, when asked about the poll results. “It is not an exit poll, it is a Modi media poll. It is his fantasy poll,” he added. BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad, reacting to Gandhi’s remark, said the National Democratic Alliance will win 400 seats. “There is no bar for daydreaming in India. The exit polls are only reflecting the exact poll. We will cross 400 in Delhi (Centre) and 40 in Bihar,” he said. Union minister RK Singh said the exit polls forced the mouth of the INDIA bloc shut. “We feel that we will get more seats than what is being shown in the exit polls and the INDI alliance has understood this… Pakistan wants a weak leader in India, that is why they feel that if people like Kejriwal or Rahul Gandhi come to power, then Pakistan will get a full chance to carry out terrorist attacks here again,” he said. The Congress-led INDIA bloc has called the exit polls bogus. “INDIA alliance will get 295 seats and certainly form the government,” KC Venugopal said today. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh today said it was impossible that the bloc gets less than 295 seats. According to India Today-Axis My India exit polls, the BJP-led ruling alliance will win 361-401 seats in the Lok Sabha polls. The poll gave the INDIA bloc 131-166 seats.
