Reacting to the exit polls predicting that the BJP is set to retain power with a bigger mandate in the state, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar thanked the voters on Monday evening and said the workers of the saffron party had worked very hard.
The exit polls have forecast a facile victory for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state and a rout for its rivals, led by the Congress.
On the exit polls giving a clear edge to the party in Haryana, Khattar said he wanted to thank every voter for this as also the party workers, who had worked very hard during the entire poll campaign.
Reacting to the predictions, former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said, "I do not believe in exit polls, I believe in the exact poll results."
