| Exit Polls predict Omar’s victory, former J&K CM still unhappy | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: Despite Exit Polls predicting National Conference winning all the three Lok Sabha seats in Kashmir, NC vice-president and former J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah seems “unhappy” with the Exit Polls projections which give NDA more seats than the alliance had in 2019 elections.
Taking to his X handle, Omar said: “Déjà vu. 5 years ago during the campaign - 'he’s gone back to Hindu-Muslim, the BJP is in trouble.' Come the Exit Polls - 'have you seen the numbers? I’m depressed, this can’t be happening.' This year it’s been exactly the same - 'he’s relying on Muslim bashing, the BJP is in big trouble, they won’t cross 250.' Exit Poll time - 'damn, I’m depressed. How can this be happening again?' Gotta love this little social media echo chamber where wishful thinking is passed off as the national narrative.”
Omar ridiculed the social media for trying to create an "echo chamber rhetoric" that NDA would get the majority during these elections.
Meanwhile, the Exit Polls projections have predicted three seats to NC and two to BJP out of the five Lok Sabha seats in J&K. Omar Abdullah is the NC candidate from Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency where he is challenged by Sajad Gani Lone of the People’s Conference and the incarcerated former MLA, Engineer Rashid of Awami Itihad Party. Exit Polls have also predicted Omar’s victory in Baramulla.
An analyst while talking to Early Times said, “The National Conference is a part of INDIA bloc (alliance of the opposition parties), it seems Omar is unable to digest that the bloc has failed to strike a chord with the voters.”
He said, “Till results are declared Exit Polls will remain just a speculation and we have to wait till June 4 when results will be announced.”
The analyst said, “If we peep into the past, Exit Polls have rarely been found incorrect. In 2019 Exit Polls have predicted the NDA victory and nothing much changed on the ground when the results were announced.” |
