The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance has been projected to win the 2024 Jharkhand Assembly polls, with exit polls predicting 42-53 seats in the saffron party’s kitty. Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India has imposed a ban on exit polls from 7.00 AM – 13 Nov, 2024 To 6.30 PM – 20 Nov, 2024
Former chief election commissioner SY Quraishi on Tuesday claimed that the exit polls are patently illegal and they are happening before the eyes of the Election Commission (EC).
Addressing the G V G Krishnamurty Memorial Lecture here, he asked when the conduct of exit polls is banned during the “prohibited period” — from the day of commencement of voting for the first phase till half-an-hour after the end of polling in the last phase — how are they being held.
He said when exit polls cannot be conducted in that period, how can be shown soon after conclusion of polls.
