In a video bite given to news agency ANI, the Congress social media in-charge said, “These are Narendra Modi’s exit polls. The exit poll from the public gives 295 seats to INDIA, and this number will only increase.”

After considering factors for and against participating in the exit polls, it has been decided by consensus that all the INDIA parties will participate in the exit poll debates on television this evening,” Congress leader Khera wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
