A little known pollster going by the name of Chanakya got it bang on. Polling for News24, Chanakya predicted the NDA would get 340 seats and BJP 291. When counting was still in progress, NDA's tally was 340 seats, and BJP's 282. Chanakya gave Congres 57 seats, while the party's actual tally looks to be 44. Chanakya, led by psephologist V K Bajaj, was clearly an outlier among the exit polls. | A little known pollster going by the name of Chanakya got it bang on.

While most gave NDA's seat tally at around 280, none gave BJP a clear majority . This is the second time Chanakya has got it right -the earlier time (and its first essay into poll prediction) was during the Delhi assembly election last November when it gave AAP 31 seats, while it won 28. | While most gave NDA's seat tally at around 280, none gave BJP a clear majority .

The Times of India May 17 2014
A little known pollster going by the name of Chanakya got it bang on. Polling for News24, Chanakya predicted the NDA would get 340 seats and BJP 291. When counting was still in progress, NDA's tally was 340 seats, and BJP's 282. Chanakya gave Congres 57 seats, while the party's actual tally looks to be 44. Chanakya, led by psephologist V K Bajaj, was clearly an outlier among the exit polls.
While most gave NDA's seat tally at around 280, none gave BJP a clear majority . This is the second time Chanakya has got it right -the earlier time (and its first essay into poll prediction) was during the Delhi assembly election last November when it gave AAP 31 seats, while it won 28.
