Gravitas | India Elections 2024: Exit Polls give respite from recent market volatility

India's stock rally hinges on Modi bettering 303-seats tally

The fervour surrounding the 2024 Lok Sabha elections has intensified as exit poll results hint at a resounding victory for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), paving the way for Narendra Modi's return as Prime Minister for a historic third term.

However, opposition leaders have cast doubt on the credibility of these projections and dismissed them as unreliable and potentially manipulated.

Here's what the opposition leaders, including that from Congress, the principal opposition party, voiced in its skepticism regarding the exit poll findings:&nbsp;

Congress leader Rashid Alvi lambasted the reliability of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and&nbsp;advocated for a return to paper ballots to ensure electoral transparency. "Exit polls are all different, but all the exit polls are showing formation of NDA government. On ground, the reality we saw... exit polls are exactly opposite to that," Alvi said over the exit polls that showed a victory for the ruling saffron party.&nbsp;

Fellow Congress members, including Shashi Tharoor said the exit polls are "deeply unscientific."

“We are very happy to wait and see what the votes actually tell us. Exit polls are deeply unscientific and we all know this. Last year, the majority of exit polls got the results wrong in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan," he said.&nbsp;

Congress' Jairam Ramesh also exuded victory for the INDIA bloc that put up a joint fight against PM Modi-led BJP.&nbsp;

"The man whose exit is certain on June 4th has had these exit polls orchestrated. The INDIA Janbandhan will definitely get a minimum of 295 seats, which is a clear and decisive majority. The outgoing Prime Minister can remain smug for three days in the meanwhile. These are all psychological games he is masterminding but the ACTUAL results will be very different."&nbsp;

Moreover, leaders from other opposition parties, such as Binoy Biswam of the Communist Party of India (CPI) and Somnath Bharti of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), also expressed confidence in their win.

Biswam raised concerns about the supposed corporate bias in exit polls favouring the BJP.&nbsp;

“Exit polls are run by corporate houses, who have a political affinity for the BJP at its core. These are pre-decided survey results. Studying the prospects of the INDIA alliance partners, we are confident that we are going to win," Biswam said.&nbsp;

Bharti even went as far as to make a bold wager by vowing to shave his head if Modi secures a third term as Prime Minister.

"I will shave off my head if Mr Modi becomes PM for the third time. Mark my word! All exit polls will be proven wrong on 4th June and Modi ji will not become prime minister for the third time. In Delhi, all seven seats will go to India ALLIANCE. Fear of Mr Modi does not allow exit polls to show him lose. Hence we all need to wait for actual results scheduled to be delivered on June 4th. People have voted very heavily against BJP," he said.&nbsp;

Manoj Jha from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Harish Singh Rawat from Congress&nbsp; also dismissed the exit polls.&nbsp;

CPI(M) leader Hannan Mollah accused pro-BJP factions of orchestrating a "calculated conspiracy" through exit polls to undermine the opposition's morale.

“Positive results are coming from different parts of the country against the Narendra Modi government. From today onwards, supporters of Modi will form a group and continue to campaign in the name of exit polls to dishearten the other camp. It is a calculated conspiracy," he said.&nbsp;

However, BJP leaders remain buoyant and look at the exit poll results as a result of Modi's leadership.&nbsp;

Exit Poll 2024: How accurate were the predictions in 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections

As India's mammoth seven-phase elections drew to a close on Saturday, the nation's major media houses started publishing exit polls data in the evening. Most of them predicted a comfortable win for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with the incumbent bloc securing more than 300 seats, way above the majority mark of 272.

The exit poll data showed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance was all set for a clean sweep victory in almost half a dozen states. Following are the details.

<h2>Uttarakhand</h2>

The VMR Lok Sabha exit polls and Today's Chanakya predicted that BJP was most likely to retain all five seats in the state, meaning the opposition INDIA bloc was in for a major setback here.

<h2>Gujarat</h2>

India-Today Axis My India exit poll gave BJP 25-26 seats in Gujarat, the home state of PM Narendra Modi and a stronghold of his BJP. The exit poll, meanwhile, predicted that the Congress may win one seat in the state in the best case scenario. In the 2019 polls, BJP had secured all 26 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

<h2>Madhya Pradesh</h2>

Today’s Chanakya exit poll claimed the BJP was all set to win all 29 Lok Sabha seats in the state. A similar prediction was given by My Axis exit poll, leaving no room for Congress to open its account in the state. Meanwhile, the News18 Mega Exit Poll estimated BJP may win 25-26 seats in the state.

<h2>Delhi</h2>

The India Today-Axis My India exit poll projected that BJP may retain all seven seats in Delhi. The survey, however, gave 1 seat to the Congress-AAP alliance in the best case scenario. Here, the BJP was likely to secure a whopping 54 per cent vote share.

<h2>Chhattisgarh</h2>

BJP may emerge victorious in the state on 10-11 seats, India Today-Axis My India exit poll showed. The survey revealed the vote share of the party may also increase. Opposition Congress meanwhile may secure just one seat here.

Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Exit Polls: BJP may face electoral headwinds in these states

Amit Shah, India's home minister from the ruling Bhartiya Janta Party&nbsp;(BJP), criticised Congress for distancing themselves from&nbsp;Exit Poll debates ahead of the Lok Sabha 2024 election results.&nbsp;

The BJP is confident of clinching a historic third term under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the elections.

After senior Congress leader Pawan Khera made the announcement about avoiding exit poll debates, Amit Shah and BJP chief JP Nadda said it appears the Opposition has already conceded defeat.

Shah, in a post on X, said, "Congress has come to know about its huge defeat, so with what face will it face the media and the public now? Therefore, Congress is running away from the exit polls. I want to tell the Congress party not to run away, face the defeat and introspect".

Lok Sabha polls 2024: Amit Shah slams Congress for boycotting exit polls, asks them not to 'run away'

In the Netherlands Geert Wilders' election win has been confirmed. The election committee has said that Geert Wilders and his PVV freedom party has now won 137 seats in the 150 seat Parliament and now Wilders faces an uphill task to forge a coalition as some parties are extremely uncomfortable with his far right anti-Islam agenda.

Dutch Election Committee officially confirms Geert Wilders win

Five key Indian states went to polls this month and all the rounds of polling finally concluded today. We now have the first projections from Exit Polls. Let's take a look at which state went to polls and why these elections are important.

India state elections: Exit polls give a sense of what to expect on December 3

Hard-right Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, is poised to be the next prime minister of the Netherlands. His victory in the election has sent shockwaves throughout Europe as Wilders is known for his anti-Muslim, anti-EU views. With Wilders sweeping the polls, Europe's far-right believes their views have become more mainstream. Molly Gambhir brings you a report.

Gravitas: Geert Wilders' win in Netherlands election is giving Europe chills; Here's why?

As soon as the Karnataka Assembly elections ended on May 10, 2023, at 6 pm, all eyes turned to the exit polls by various news agencies. Most exit polls for the Karnataka elections 2023 have predicted a hung assembly, with Congress as the single largest party.

As soon as the Karnataka Assembly elections ended on May 10, 2023, at 6 pm, all eyes turned to the exit polls by various news agencies. Most exit polls for the Karnataka elections 2023 have predicted a hung assembly, with Congress as the single largest party. However, exit polls are not infallible. While their sample sizes are adequate, they cannot ignore some errors, including non-response biases. Let's look at how accurate the exit polls were for the Karnataka Assembly elections 2018. Karnataka Assembly Elections Exit Polls: Accuracy of 2018 Results The exit polls released by various leading agencies on May 10 show Karnataka might have a hung Assembly with Congress as the largest party. The analysis shows that Congress might win around 109 seats (average), and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) could win in 90 and 24 constituencies, respectively. In the 2018 elections, most exit polls by prominent news agencies predicted a hung assembly, with the BJP emerging as the single largest party. The exit polls said it might fall short of the majority mark of 113. The final results of the Karnataka Assembly elections in 2018 announced by the Election Commission of India turned out to be a hung assembly, with BJP as the single largest party with 104 seats. Congress and JDS won 80 and 38 seats, respectively. The 2018 exit polls predicted the overall trend accurately. However, there were a few wrong predictions about the election results. Most exit polls overestimated the seat share of Congress while underestimating the JDS. Most pre-poll opinion surveys have also predicted a hung assembly in Karnataka in 2023, with Congress missing the majority mark by a few seats. Thus, exit polls are a tool to gauge election trends, but they are not foolproof. There have been many instances when poll result forecasts have overestimated or underestimated voting patterns, despite predicting overall results correctly. The Election Commission of India will announce the results on May 13, 2023. Karnataka Assembly Elections Exit Polls: 2018 vs 2023 Last time, most exit polls predicted a hung assembly with BJP as the single largest party. For 2023, the hung assembly verdict remains the same. However, exit polls predicted Congress as the single largest party. In conclusion, Karnataka might have a hung assembly, according to seven out of ten exit polls. Two have predicted an outright victory for the Congress and one for the BJP.

Exit polls show most voters don’t want Joe Biden to run for US presidency in 2024

Former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that his right wing, religious camp was on the cusp of a great election win. Earlier,&nbsp;exit polls also predicted his bloc gaining a slim parliamentary majority, paving the way for his comeback.

"We have won a huge vote of confidence from the people of&nbsp;Israel," a smiling Netanyahu told supporters at his election headquarters in Jerusalem. "We are on the brink of a very big victory," he told the cheering crowd.

According to exit polls, the country’s longest-serving PM is poised to take at least 61 or 62 seats in the 120-seat Knesset (parliament), said a local media report. The actual outcome of the elections may differ from the early exit polls which are&nbsp;not expected until later this week.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the incumbent Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s centrist Yesh Atid party is projected to win at least 24 seats. On the other hand, Religious Zionist Party, led by Itamar Ben-Gvir is poised to get at least 14 seats making it the third-largest party.&nbsp;

This is the country’s fifth election in less than four years which has exasperated many voters, however, reports suggest that this did not affect the voter turnout which was the highest since 1999.

Netanyahu is seen as one of the most controversial political figures and is also currently on trial for alleged bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges which he has vehemently denied in the past. Furthermore, he has reportedly been counting on support from Ben-Gvir, who was a member of a group called Kach, which is on Israel and the United States’ “terrorist” watchlists and the prospect of them forming a coalition has raised concerns among allies including Washington.&nbsp;
