There is no dull moment in electoral politics. First, it’s campaigning, then voting and finally the results. In between, there is another interesting segment that keeps TV studios and party offices abuzz: the entry of exit polls. Those who are trailing, dismiss them. And those who are winning, feel vindicated.
Just like the last assembly elections in Karnataka, Janata Dal (Secular) will emerge a kingmaker, predicted five of the ten exit polls. Four have predicted that the Congress will cross the majority mark of 113 in the house of 224. One exit poll has forecast majority for the BJP.
