Hyderabad: Dismissing exit polls that have predicted a hung Assembly or a BJP lead in the just-concluded Karnataka election, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily on Monday claimed that his party would get a simple majority in the southern state.
"If the people have voted for performance, I think the Congress should get it. I think in all probability, we will at least get a simple majority," the former Union minister told PTI, a day before the counting of votes in Karnataka.
On the options before the Congress if it falls short of the required numbers, the former Karnataka chief minister said: "Only tomorrow, can we tell (after the results are out)".
Moily claimed that earlier, the exit polls were conducted by experts and professionals, but these days, such exercises were "very much influenced by their (the TV channels') own particular affiliations".
Asked if the Congress was ready to join hands with the JD(S), he said he did not want to comment as he strongly felt that his party would get a simple majority.
