We have to take Exit Polls with a pinch of salt - CNN-IBN predicted a Congress gain in its pre poll analysis [no exit poll was done yesterday] and now NDTV Exit Poll shows a gain for BJP. Considering that both the pollsters are hardcore pro Congress Establishment i think some sort of balancing act will now be done by CNN-IBN.
That BJP has to be given the chance is evident on the ground - with terrorism, lack of development clearly showing up - a clear mandate to BJP is called for after having tested JD-S and Congress. I hope the next two regions where BJP is far stronger will deliver a clear verdict.
