Don't get bogged down by 'farzi' exit polls, your hard work won't be wasted: Rahul Gandhi ahead of counting day

Ahead of the day of counting for the Lok Sabha Polls 2019, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi advised his party workers to remain alert. Asking them to not be discouraged by the exit poll results, which he termed 'fake', he asked them to believe in the party and themselves. He assured them that their 'hardwork' will not go in vain. 

"The next 24 hours are important. Be alert and vigilant. Don't be afraid. You are fighting for the truth. Don't be disheartened by what the fake exit polls are propagating. Have faith in yourselves and the Congress. Your hard work will not be in vain, Jai Hindi," Rahul Gandhi tweeted in Hindi.

The channel predicted that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will win anything between 282 and 290 seats, while the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) may garner a maximum of 126 seats.

कांग्रेस पार्टी के प्रिय कार्यकर्ताओं ,

अगले 24 घंटे महत्वपूर्ण हैं। सतर्क और चौकन्ना रहें। डरे नहीं। आप सत्य के लिए लड़ रहे हैं । फर्जी एग्जिट पोल के दुष्प्रचार से निराश न हो। खुद पर और कांग्रेस पार्टी पर विश्वास रखें, आपकी मेहनत बेकार नहीं जाएगी।

जय हिन्द।

राहुल गांधी
