SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Tuesday chose to trash the exit polls, which suggest Narendra Modi-led BJP will hit the 272 mark in India’s 540-plus parliament. He has termed these polls as a “great time pass”.
“The only exit poll that matters is the one that is slated for Friday (the day Lok Sabha results will be out), the rest are all great time pass,” he said on Twitter.
Omar questioned the credibility of the opinion polls in view of the vast difference between two surveys in the number of Lok Sabha seats expected to be won by parties in a particular state.
Citing the example of Rajasthan, the Chief Minister wrote: “So one channel gives Cong only two (seats) in Rajasthan and another gives them 14. Did these channels cover the same election?”
Reacting to the tweets of Omar Abdullah, BJP said that Omar is also having a great timepass by reacting on the twitter. And yet here you are reacting. What Omar Abdullah tweets is also time-pass.”
