'Just wait and watch': Sonia Gandhi after exit polls predict Modi's stormy return to power
New Delhi/IBNS: Former Congress president and top leader Sonia Gandhi is "hopeful" of the success of the INDIA alliance, which is predicted in the exit polls to be defeated by the mighty BJP in the Lok Sabha polls, media reports said.
Sonia, a Rajya Sabha MP, told media, "Just wait and watch. We are very hopeful that our results are completely the opposite to what the exit polls are showing."
On Sunday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called the exit polls a "Modi media poll" and a "fantasy poll" exuding confidence in winning 295 seats.
