The meeting presided over by JKPCC chief, was also learnt to have taken stock of exit polls predicting a big win for the BJP-led NDA, rejecting the forecast. It was attended by senior vice president JKPCC Ravinder Sharma, District Jammu Urban president Manmohan Singh, Ved Mahajan, Rajnish Sharma, ex- Minister Yashpal Kundal, Naresh Gupta, Narinder Gupta, Satish Sharma, Amrit Bali, Rajesh Sagotra, Vijay Sharma Babbi, Bopinder Singh Jamwal, Sanjeev Sharma, Balbir Singh, Inder Sehgal, Ajay Kumar, Latish Sharma, Dwarka Choudhary and others
Wani questioned the veracity of the exit polls which have predicted a comfortable victory for the BJP-led NDA and claimed that the agencies conducting them were only trying to create a conducive atmosphere in favour of the BJP. He invoked Mahatma Gandhi’s “do or die” call for the country’s future and said the youth are ready to sacrifice themselves. He said the BJP’s “corrupt policies” are not capable of protecting the nation, adding that youth are now ready to take part in a “new freedom movement”.
“Our exit poll says that the INDIA bloc is winning all the five seats in J&K. I have got an internal survey done that also shows good numbers for us,” he said.
“We and media were among the people to strengthen democracy. We have seen they (BJP) did not have people (in their rallies), their tents were empty…nothing was seen in their favour,” Wani said.
Questioning the exit polls, he alleged that many agencies that conducted the exit polls used to do work of booth management for the BJP.”These exit polls agencies are making a conducive atmosphere in the BJP’s favour,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said “The elections are over. The exit polls are showing many things. The BJP is responsible for many things. They disturbed peace and brotherhood. They conspired to end the reservation. They increased crime against women. They made a record of wrong behaviour. They triggered inflation and unemployment. The poor become poorer,” Bhalla added.
“The exit polls have played a psychological trick. Huge money is involved in the exercise,” he claimed.
