Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Pradeep Gupta in tears on air national TV following election blunder.
Pradeep Gupta of Axis My India, who conducts the exit polls with India Today, was seen crying and sobbing on live television on the India Today channel. Apparently, the pollster was deeply hurt after the Axis My India got the exit polls wrong, predicting close to 400 seats for the BJP led NDA in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
In actuality, NDA so far has only managed to get around 295 seats, only occasionally passing 300 seats during the different counting phases today, whereas the I.N.D.I.A alliance have reached around 230 seats.
The early trends show that the NDA is touching the majority mark with 296 seats. However, the BJP looks like falling short of forming the government on its own, if the current trends hold up. Almost all the exit polls, including Axis My India and India Today, had given a thumping lead to the BJP led NDA and predicted anywhere between 350-400 seats for the NDA. That prediction looks set to fall apart as the INDIA alliance performed much better than what the exit polls predicted.
The pollster broke down on live television while debating the discussing the debate on the result day. The India Today anchors tried to console him even as Rajdeep Sardesai said Gupta got many states right especially in the case of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.
