In an unusual move, the EC on Friday responded to Kharge's letter to fellow INDIA bloc leaders that was also posted on X, and rejected his allegations.

Exit Poll 2024 Controversy: Axis My India's Pradeep Gupta Takes Jibe On Rahul Gandhi's Rejection

Axis My India's Chairman and Managing Director Pradeep Gupta countered Rahul Gandhi's accusation that exit polls are "Modi media poll" or "fantasy polls". In an interview to ANI news agency, Gupta said, "If Rahul Gandhi feels happy by declaring that the Axis My India poll is a Modi poll, then I feel even more delighted. On June 4, elections will be out. And I reckon Rahul Gandhi will feel happy that Axis My India was once again proven correct. A day after the exit polls showed the Modi government coming back to power once again, Gandhi, while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an internal meeting of the Congress for the counting day, said, “It is not an exit poll, it is a Modi media poll. It is Modi ji’s poll. It is his fantasy poll.” #ExitPoll2024 #JairamRamesh #AxisMyIndia #PradeepGupta #RahulGandhi #INDIAAlliance #AmitShah #ExitPoll2024live #ExitPolls2024 #ExitPollResults2024 #ExitPollLive #ExitPollResultsLive #LokSabhaElection2024 #LokSabha2024 #LokSabhaResultLive #LoksabhaExitPoll2024Live #BJP #BJPvsCongress #Congress #NarendraModi #RahulGandhi #LatestNews #BreakingNews #LiveNews #Elections2024 ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~
