Rejecting the exit poll predictions for the Lok Sabha elections, Tripura Pradesh Congress President Ashish Kumar Saha on Saturday claimed that his party would do better results both in northeastern states and across the country.

Saha said that Rahul Gandhi started his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ from Manipur on January 14 highlighting five guarantees (Nyay) and it toured most of the northeastern states evoking a positive impact among the people.

“The BJNY has also stirred the minds of the people across the country and accordingly the Congress would get a better outcome in the Lok Sabha polls,” Saha told the media here.

He said that after the INDIA bloc meeting in New Delhi on Saturday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge already said that the opposition alliance would win more than 295 seats.

“Since the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections, the INDIA bloc has been getting very positive response from the voters and after the Saturday’s last phase of poll, it is now certain that the INDIA bloc would form the government at the center after June 4,” said Saha, who is also contesting in the Tripura West Lok Sabha seat as INDIA bloc nominee against BJP candidate and former Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb.

The Congress leader, who is also the member of the Congress working committee, claimed that his party would perform much better than the 2019 parliamentary polls.

Tripura CPI(M) leaders refused to make any comment on the exit poll predictions.
