Since the exit polls have been released and most of these polls are predicting about the thumping victory of NDA, the Lutyens media, liberals and the opposition are in a fix. Some are even in denial mode. But the veteran journalist Punya Prasun Bajpai went a step ahead and predicted more seats for DMK than the party has contested in this Lok Sabha election. Though the final results will be declared on May 23 and it is yet to be seen whether the speculations will become reality but it is strange that a senior journalist peddling the fake news.

 

 

 

Contrary to the prediction of most of the exit polls, Bajpai stated that the BJP will be reduced from 282 seats victory in 2014 to 145-152 seats in 2019. Congress will be gaining 100+ seats, Gathbandhan 50+ seats, TMC will score 35+ seats, DMK scoring 35+ seats and BJP will get 18+ seats. Strangely this data was shared by MP Congress through its official Twitter handle.

  

 

It was being unexpected from a veteran journalist like him but Punya Prasun Bajpai gave 35 seats to DMK when the party has contested only on 20 seats.
