CVOTER Founder Yashwant Deshmukh Slams Rahul Gandhi For Modi Fantasy Poll Remarks

Speaking on the Exit Polls for Lok Sabha Elections 2024, founder of CVOTER, Yashwant Deshmukh, said, "NDA is winning primarily because PM Modi is popular and because there is a huge gap in vote share in different states wherever they are winning... Two states are good battlegrounds: West Bengal and Maharashtra. There is a contest in each seat. Beyond these states, all the states are one-sided."

On Rahul Gandhi's "Modi fantasy poll" remark, he said, "Politicians are free to say whatever they wish. They can say that they are fantasy polls of PM Modi, but when our exit polls were showing that Congress is winning in Karnataka, Telangana, or other INDIA alliance partners in West Bengal, Delhi, Punjab, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, whenever we were saying that they are leading and they are winning, were we fantasy polls of Rahul Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee, or Stalin?
