Exit polls of National elections in India - 2019

The floodgate of Exit polls of the long drawn Parliamentary Elections in India will open on the evening of 19th May when the 7 week long ordeal finally comes to end. These exit polls are banned by EC (Election Commission) of India during the duration of the Elections. So, no sooner the Election ends at 5 PM on 19th of this month, than the news outlets will try to outsmart each other,  releasing a plethora of exit polls.

But it hasn't stopped the so called leaked Exit polls from the media houses floating on the social media, akin to the smell of a leaked fart wafting in a crowded place - its source unknown. A la the person who farted enjoys its scent, the channel which conducts the exit poll enjoys its own floating on the media, preferring  to remain incognito to save itself from embarrassment.

These exit polls come in different hues and colors. Here is my Exit poll about the Exit polls before they burst out in couple of days.

Hues - given by different pollsters on TV channels depending on their respective political alliances. The pro BJP ones will give an outright win to the saffron party, the pro Congress ones give a tilt to the Grand Old Party of India led UPA.

Color - folks will give color to the exit polls based upon their own jaundiced view. Now what you see on social media is not who is likely to win, rather who they want to see win. There is already war of words between different factions based on their own Exit polls. 

This is the prelude of not so civi, civil war on social media which will commence when the actual results trickle in. Ironically these squables are happening at a time when the leaders of political parties are busy deal making in anticipation of a clear mandate and a hung parliament. Politics make strange bedfellows, but make strangers fight.

Rather than dwelling over these leaked or non leaked exit poll, I have patience to wait about a week more when the actual results come out. So, this is just the trailer. Tighten your belts and brace for some eventful days ahead. It's going to get nasty out there.
