Exit polls 'bogus, 'deliberate attempt' to justify rigging: Congress' Jairam Ramesh

The Congress has criticized the exit polls as "bogus" and a "deliberate attempt" to justify rigging of elections. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for holding meetings, including a brainstorming session to review the 100-day agenda of the "new government," as "pressure tactics" to signal his return to the bureaucracy and administrative structure. Ramesh argued that the exit polls bear no relation to reality and that the actual results on June 4 will be different from what the exit polls show.
