Don't lose hope over exit polls: Priyanka

AICC General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday night sent an audio message to Congress workers asking them not to get disheartened by the exit poll projections that showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi retaining power.

"Dear brothers and sisters, do not lose hope due to rumours and exit polls. These are being circulated to break your resolve," Priyanka said in an audio message circulated to party workers.

She asked Congress workers in such a situation you being alert is of utmost importance. "Be stationed at the strong rooms and counting centres. Our efforts and your efforts will bear fruit," Priyanka said.

The message came at a time when almost all exit polls released on Sunday evening showed BJP comfortably retaining power and Congress struggling to reach the three-digit mark.
