It’s the most wonderful time of year – no, not Christmas. It’s when the lull between the end of voting and results day is pierced by the chaos of exit polls.
Voting wound up today for the assembly polls in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram. Adding to the mayhem, the Election Commission revised its original order that said exit polls must be withheld until 6.30 pm, and permitted them to be released from 5.30 pm.
