Uddhav rejects exit polls predicting BJP win, says 'wait for results'


Mumbai, Dec 17 (Zee News): Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray appears to have disagreed with exit polls that has predicted a clear victory for BJP in Gujarat.

Thackeray, whose party shares an uneasy relationship with its ruling ally BJP, calls a big difference between the political atmosphere prevalent in Gujarat and the exit polls results.

He, however, said that the assembly polls results will be out on Monday and that everyone has to accept it.

"The exit polls have predicted a clear victory for the BJP (in Gujarat). However, the exit poll predictions are not agreeable to us. The final result will be out on Monday and everyone has to accept it," he said.

"There is a big difference between the atmosphere prevalent in Gujarat and the predictions of exit polls," he added.

The exit polls released after the December 14 voting have given a clear majority for the BJP in the 182-member Gujarat assembly. Almost all exit polls predicted more than 100 seats for the BJP in the state where the party is in power for over two decades.

Congratulating Rahul Gandhi for taking over as Congress president, Thackeray said he worked hard for the Gujarat elections and hoped he fulfils the aspirations of his party workers.

"I hope he fulfils the trust of his party cadres," he said.

Taking a dig at the BJP, he said the country expected a lot from the NDA lead party, but it has not been able to tackle issues like farm loan waiver and unemployment.

"The Sena did not change its colours after coming to power. Our stand remains clear (on issues of public importance). Nobody should teach us what should we do," he said.

Asked if the post of Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra was offered to the Sena by the BJP, he replied in the negative.

When asked about Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray's statement that the Sena will forgo power within a year's time, Thackeray said, "He is right. If issues like loan waiver, electrification, unemployment persist, why should we continue to support the BJP?"

The Sena is part of the BJP-led ruling coalitions in Maharashtra as well as at the Centre.

    Thackery will not miss any opportunity to blame BJP, which was his favorite party once upon a time. After so many threats to walk out of coalition in Maharashtra, he does not dare to do so because the very existence of his party is in Maharashtra. It is not that he likes congress, but because Fadnavis said so many times to take back the support to Government. It was a different party when Bal Thackery was alive.

    Scope for Congress to win in Gujrat is 40:60 % and if at all, they succeed in getting majority seats that means BJP's worse days are ahead. It's not going to be a reality but looking from present perspectives, Rahul looks all set to play a dedicated and strong role as party president in the coming days. It's like make or bread situation on his shoulders. He will surely will not give up easily.

    Deffinately there is undercurrent, after Modi left Gujrat people didn’t saw much development. But can this anger turn as vote for Congress not sure. Congress this time had full proof strategy , devide n rule, Hardhik, temple run, no minority appeasement. But Gujratis don’t see any alternative in congress for BJP. a Surat trader said ‘hum naaraaz hai Lekin gaddhaar Anahi.

    One thing is clear. BJP's development or so called vikas was not the issue during Gujarat elections. If Vikas was the issue, then there was no need for BJP to campaign in the manner they did and Modi's appeal and outbursts against congress and lies prove that BJP was nervous. I don't care if BJP wins or Congress wins. I don't get any benefit if any of these parties win.

    Yes, exit polls may or may not prove right .But, electioneering was in Gujrat has gone downhills.Standard of language used in the campaign by the leaders of political parties was condemnable.It is like "coming events have cast their shadows before".
