CHENNAI: The AIADMK on Friday dismissed the exit poll results of various media houses that predicted a sweep for the opposition DMK in the assembly election held on April 6.
AIADMK coordinator O Panneerselvam and joint coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami said they were confident that the party would maintain its winning streak and return to power for the third time in a row.
In a joint statement, the leaders recalled the exit poll outcome in the 2016 election that had forecast a DMK victory even on the eve of counting. “But within hours of counting, the AIADMK candidates were leading and Amma (Jayalalithaa) returned to power with a huge majority,” they said.
The exit poll was an attempt to discourage and paralyze the partymen and to prevent them from discharging the democratic duty on counting day. The partymen should not believe in such conspiracies but stay vigilant from the beginning of counting, they said.
