AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the exit polls predicting the resounding victory of BJP-led NDA are "fake" and "manipulated to misguide the public." "There are a total of 25 seats in Rajasthan; an exit pollster gave 33 out of 25 seats to the BJP," Kejriwal claimed.

Elaborating on the exit polls predictions, he alleged, "There is a theory that they [exit polls] have shown so many seats [in favour of NDA] as their [BJP's] people have invested in the stock market. And tomorrow, when the stock market opens, there will be such a bumper gain that they will sell their shares and escape." The chief minister alleged that through exit polls, the BJP wants to pressure the officers to get their things done.
