Many exit poll predicted a clean sweep for the BJP-led NDA alliance in the Lok Sabha election 2024. Media houses started releasing the exit poll after 6:30 pm on Saturday, June 1. The Bharatiya Janata Party is projected to win more than 350 seats as per at least ten exit polls.

However, opposition leaders has dismissed the exit poll result and termed it as ‘bogus’. The netizens however have highlighted the discrepancies shown in the data published by media house and posted them on X.

The NEWS 24 has predicted NDA would win 33 seats in Rajasthan. Meanwhile, the state has only 25 Lok Sabha seats. The user wrote, “But Rajasthan is having only 25 seats. Then how 33? @news24tvchannel Kaya Mazaak Chal Raha Hai.”

Such a similar mistake could be spotted in the Zee News as well. Zee News has predicted that NDA would win 16-19 seats in Haryana where the number of Lok Sabha seats is 10.   

Out of four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal Pradesh, NDA was predicted to win 6-8 seats.

While another user wrote, “Some of the #ExitPoll numbers I agree with – Congress winning 13 seats after contesting on 9 seats in Tamilnadu. – NDA winning 33 seats out of 25 seats in Rajasthan. – BJP getting 20 and BJD getting zero seats in Odisha. – BJP getting 22 in Karnataka,30 in WB, 4 in Punjab and 3 seats with 27 percent vote share in Kerala.”

An exit poll is a post-election survey predicting the anticipated winners and the margin of their victory. The main idea is to reflect the public sentiment before the actual results.
