India TV-CNX Exit Poll predicts record third term for PM Modi with massive majority: Highlights

Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai on exit polls | "For a state like Tamil Nadu, this is just a beginning, this is the step in the first direction. A state where you said BJP can't enter, a state till yesterday AIADMK and DMK were saying we are NOTA party...today we have proven that our vote share is above 20%. On June 4, we will prove that we are going to open our seats and we are going to send MPs from Tamil Nadu on behalf of NDA and BJP from different corners of the state...people of Tamil Nadu have said that they will stand with PM Modi..."

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anand Dubey on exit poll | "We don't want to raise questions on any exit poll, neither do we want to disappoint them. Let them enjoy and be happy for 3-4 days. The results will shock everyone... INDIA alliance is winning more than 295 seats... In Maharashtra, BJP and NDA are nowhere to be seen according to the exit poll... Shiv Sena is emerging as the biggest party in the state..."

AAP MP Sanjay Singh on exit polls | "This exit poll has been prepared in the BJP office... Who will believe that BJP is getting a 34 per cent vote share in Tamil Nadu? Who will believe that AAP is winning 0-2 seats in Punjab?... The 'Janta ka exit poll' based on the figures shared by INDIA alliance leaders in today's meeting says that we will win more than 295 seats... I am surprised that only 400 seats are to the BJP (in the exit polls). They could have given 700, which could have been possible from 'Akhand Bharat'... The BJP has done a huge 'hera pheri' (foul play) and to hide that, such numbers are shown in the exit polls..."

On Lok Sabha exit Polls, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweets | "The man whose exit is certain on June 4th has had these exit polls orchestrated. The INDIA Janbandhan will definitely get a minimum of 295 seats, which is a clear and decisive majority. The outgoing Prime Minister can remain smug for three days in the meanwhile. These are all psychological games he is masterminding but the ACTUAL results will be very different".

On exit polls, Assam BJP President Bhabesh Kalita | "...Our NDA is crossing 370 seats in every survey. We wholeheartedly welcome this but we are expecting the tally to cross 400... In Assam, out of 14 seats, we are sure to get 12 seats. In the northeast, there are 25 seats and we feel that the people of the northeast will give at least 20 seats to BJP..."

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on exit poll results | "Kharge ji has given a figure (of 295 seats in Lok Sabha polls for INDIA alliance) today... 'Mungerilal ke sunehre sapne'. Congress is hopeful of getting 300 seats when they are fighting 328 seats. Even if their strike rate is 80 per cent, then also they won't get 300 seats."

As per final prediction the NDA is expected to get 401 seats while the INDIA bloc will manage at least 139 seats  and rest all at least 38.
