Kerala Politicians Slam Exit Poll Predictions as Baseless and Politically Motivated

The ruling Left in Kerala and the Congress have dismissed exit poll predictions indicating a BJP win at the Centre and a possible seat in Kerala. Both parties describe the predictions as baseless, politically motivated, and unscientific. They remain confident that the BJP will not secure a seat in Kerala.

On Sunday, Kerala's ruling Left and the Congress categorically rejected exit poll forecasts suggesting a BJP-led victory at the Centre and a potential seat in Kerala, labeling them as 'baseless' and 'politically motivated.' Both parties have stated that the surveys lack scientific credibility and reflect political bias.

LDF convener E P Jayarajan criticized the exit polls for not being based on public sentiment or thorough analysis, suggesting they were influenced by a pro-BJP narrative. Similarly, Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala dismissed the surveys, citing past inaccuracies and a strong anti-Modi sentiment in the country.

In agreement, KPCC chief K Sudhakaran and CPI(M) Central Committee member A K Balan expressed confidence that the UDF would win all 20 seats in Kerala, asserting that the BJP has no chance in the state. The leaders emphasized the need for vigilance during the counting process on June 4.
