Post-poll surveys
The national media is busy with various ‘outcomes’ that ‘exit polls’ have put forth. One wonders how such surveys have any purpose as they are largely an exercise in futility (Inside pages, “Exit polls show Congress win in Telangana, Chhattisgarh, but differ over M.P., Rajasthan”, December 1). Can an ‘exit poll’, even if analysed in such detail, stand against the voters’ own verdict which stands locked in the EVMs? Let the real mandate speak for itself on December 3-4.
