Exit Polls have predicted a very clear victory for the NDA and BJP, with most of them giving an alliance for more than 350 Lok Sabha, but AAP’s Sompath Bharti disagrees strongly.
The MLA, who also stands as the INDIA alliance from Delhi Lok Sabha seat has said that all exit polls will be proven wrong on Tuesday, when the votes are counted, and he will shave his head if Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister for the third time.
In keeping with its resounding victory in 2019, the majority of exit polls have also projected that the BJP will secure at least six of Delhi’s seven seats. But Mr. Bharti is adamant that the INDIA coalition, in which the Congress is running three seats and the AAP four, would sweep Delhi this time and win all seven seats.
“I will shave off my head if Mr Modi becomes PM for the third time. Mark my word! All exit polls will be proven wrong on 4th June and Modi ji will not become prime minister for the third time. In Delhi, all seven seats will go to India ALLIANCE,” Mr Bharti posted on X on Saturday.
I will shave off my head if Mr Modi becomes PM for the third time.
Mark my word!
All exit polls will be proven wrong on 4th June and Modi ji will not become prime minister for the third time.
In Delhi, all seven seats will go to India ALLIANCE.
Fear of Mr Modi does not allow…

The AAP leader is contesting against Bansuri Swaraj of the BJP in the New Delhi constituency. Ms Swaraj, who is the daughter of former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj, is making her electoral debut.
Urging people to wait for the counting to happen, he wrote, “Fear of Mr Modi does not allow exit polls to show him loose (sic). Hence we all need to wait for actual results scheduled to be delivered on June 4th. People have voted very heavily against @BJP4India.”
An analysis of exit polls by NDTV, Poll of Polls, indicates that the NDA will gain 365 seats, up from 352 in 2019, while the INDIA alliance would receive only 146.
According to the News Nation survey, the NDA is expected to win in 342–3778 seats, while INDIA is expected to win in 153–169 seats. For Jan Ki Baat, the ruling coalition’s numbers are 362–392 while the challenger’s are 141–161.
P MARQ of Republic TV has granted the NDA 358 and the INDIA 154.
Many opposition figures have repeated Mr. Bharti’s belief that the exit polls are frequently inaccurate, despite the BJP’s claim that the polls support its viewpoint that it is winning handily and that voters want PM Modi to win a third consecutive term.
Speaking to NDTV, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said the INDIA alliance’s analysis puts it at 295 seats, 23 higher than the majority mark of 272.
