Mysuru, May 13, 2018: Even as latest exit polls predict edge for the BJP in Karnataka Assembly Elections on May 15, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has confident message for Congress cadre ‘We are coming back.’

In an early morning outing on microblogging site Twitter, the Karnataka Chief Minister told the Congress party workers and supporters to ‘relax and enjoy’ the weekend!

Exit opinion polls are entertainment for the next 2 days

Relying on poll of polls is like a person who can’t swim crossing a river on foot relying on a statistician who told him the average depth of the river is 4 feet

Please note average of 6+4+2 is 4. At 6 feet you drown! 1/2

Mocking the exit polls for their reliability, Siddaramaiah said, ‘relying on poll of polls is like a person who can’t swim crossing a river on foot relying on a statistician who told him the average depth of the river is 4 feet… Please note average of 6+4+2 is 4. At 6 feet you drown!’

Siddaramaiah, who is contesting from Chamundeshwari and Badami constituencies, told ANI that neither the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) BS Yeddyurappa nor Janata Dal (Secular) (JD-S) leader Kumaraswamy can become the chief minister of Karnataka.

“Neither BJP nor JD(S) will come to power in Karnataka and therefore neither BS Yeddyurappa nor Kumaraswamy can become the Chief Minister. It is only Congress party that will come to power. Congress party will get 120+ seats in total. We will be going to get a clear majority. Last time we won 122 seats. This time we will win more than last time’s number,” Siddaramaiah said.
