The Congress has reversed its decision to stay away from this evening's exit polls at a meeting with allies of the INDIA bloc. "INDIA alliance decided to participate in the exit polls and we will get no less than 295 seats," party chief Mallikarjun Kharge declared after the meeting, which took place at his home earlier today. Mr Kharge, who earlier said his party is expecting to win 128 seats, said the fresh figure was arrived at after discussions with allies.
