NEW DELHI: After all exit polls yesterday predicted a sweep for the BJP in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, the former deputy chief minister of Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav , wants to remind everyone that similar exit polls got his state's Assembly results completely wrong in 2015."Remember #ExitPoll predictions for Bihar Elections- 2015", tweeted Tejashwi, about what was no doubt an unexpected loss for the BJP at the time.The 'grand alliance' of the Congress, Tejashwi's Rashtriya Janata Dal and Nitish Kumar 's JD (U) fashioned a much-feted victory over the BJP in November 2015, some say, against all odds.At the time, barring one, all exit polls predicted the NDA will get a majority. Today's Chanakya, which predicted the most seats for the NDA, was even compelled to apologize for its flubbing of 2015. Of course, it's a whole different issue that the JD (U) quit the 'grand alliance to join the RJD 's and the Congress party's arch enemy, the BJP.Yesterday's exit polls unanimously predicted that BJP would return to power in Gujarat and rout the Congress in Himachal Pradesh. While the polls disagreed on the scale of the party's victory in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state, not one suggested a close result, with the lowest forecast being 99 seats for BJP in the 182-member assembly.Of the seven polls that were available on Gujarat, three indicated that BJP was likely to get fewer seats than in 2012, when it had won 115. Two of the polls predicted a result very similar to five years ago while the two others indicated that the saffron party would beat its 2002 record of 127 seats in the state.Most of the exit polls, however, also predicted that Congress would improve its tally from 61 in 2012, though in most cases not by much.
