New Delhi, Dec 7 (IANS): A day before the declaration of assembly election results, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said Saturday that she did not believe in exit polls and surveys.

"We don't work on the basis of surveys. I would say respectfully, I don't believe in these surveys," Dikshit said in response to a question about surveys that are indicating a tough fight for the New Delhi seat from where she contested.

Three-time chief minister Dikshit is up against Bharatiya Janata Party's Vijendra Gupta and Aam Aadmi Party's Arvind Kejriwal for this seat.

Asked about her expectations, Dikshit said: "Our work is done, when the counting is done, we will see the results."

Results for the Dec 4 Delhi assembly elections will be declared Sunday.

    If poll surveys and exit polls were accurate then would there be any need for counting of votes ?

    Poll surveys and exit polls are only the media's business interest to keep themselves employed and to arouse the viewer's/reader's interest and build up the excitement, again, just to keep themselves in business.

    Add to that opinion polls are also used as a political tool by political parties to sway undecided voters in their favour.

    Worst part is that just as there is paid media there are even 'paid' opinion polls and exit polls. So how can they be believed whether they are in favour or against the party you support ?

    Be patient till the results are officially announced.
