Odisha Congress leader Biswaranjan Mohanty has labelled exit poll predictions for the Lok Sabha elections as "fake and manipulated," asserting they do not reflect actual EVM results.

The Supreme Court on Monday barred YSR Congress Party MLA Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy, who allegedly smashed an EVM at a polling station, from entering the vote counting station of the Macherla assembly constituency on June 4.
