The Congress party has crossed a hundred-seat mark in the Initial results. Both the Congress and BJP are neck to neck in the poll results. The JDS is going to be the Kingmaker.<\/p>\n
Congress state president D K Shivakumar junked the exit poll results in which the party, though it gains the highest number of seats, has to contend with a hung Assembly.<\/p>\n
He insisted that the party will win at least 141 seats and form a majority government.<\/p>\n
There was a wave in favor of the Congress, Shivakumar said, a day ahead of the counting of votes of the Assembly election.<\/p>\n
He also ruled out the possibility of the return of ‘resort politics’ saying that “era ended 25 years ago”.<\/p>\n
“I don’t trust exit polls. I have trust in 141 seats. Our sample size is much bigger. Exit poll sample size is small. There is a major wave in favour of the Congress,” Shivakumar told .<\/p>\n
Stating that the exit poll results fluctuate by 20 seats, the Congress state chief said the number he has given will only increase and not decrease.<\/p>\n
