?Well GVL Narasimha Rao has stuck his neck out and spoken and so has fellow blogger Sandeep, so where is the CNN-IBN’s Yogendra Yadav ?- Will he rise to the challenge and defend his prognostication against global benchmarks or concede and quit ?
Filed under: Karnataka Polls 2008
The presumption of shame, nay any suggestion of ethical behavior or scruples on the part of shri shri yogendra yadav is deeply and grossly insulting to the stature of that greatest of pollsters.
May mere mortals and bloggers-typing-in-pajamas never ever again dare to raise questions about the nittygrity of yogendra’s unqualified integrity.
The sickular Gawds shall banish your soul to nationalist wilderness forever and ever, be warned!
/Sarc off
Unless BJP wins karnataka with out right majority, The media is going to spin it as BJP defeat and how south does not accept BJP’s “communal, saffron agenda”, even if it emerges as largest party.
Yogendra Yadav must be praying commie gods Marx/Lenin/Mao to defeat BJP.
Chanakya – even if BJP wins Karnataka outright these lefty mediawallahs will find some way to spin the story the way it suits them. Case in point after the Modiji’s victory the Media spun the story of how he has grown bigger than BJP, Sangh etc. Modiji gave a very emotional reply to those accusations : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/I_am_not_bigger_than_BJP_Narendra_Modi/rssarticleshow/2648120.cms
It’s most disgraceful that mixing of opinion in what is supposed to be a news item is done by all the mainstream media outlets today.
On a cautionary note: Narasimha Rao survey mentions that Muslims may not have voted ‘tactically’ which I find very surprising. The final tally may show BJP’s seats may come down if that was a factor in calculation. Karnataka has 12% muslim population.
Mandar,
Yes. If the BJP wins, they will say it is because of the “communal politics”. How “secular vote” got divided, how karnataka is on the verge of take over by Nazi forces/concentration camps etc etc.
Thats why BJP should do what I have suggested in another post( 6th comment in this thread http://offstumped.nationalinterest.in/2008/05/19/karnataka-polls-muslim-vote-bank-politics-with-science/)
==========
I think BJP is really being stupid in its handling of English language media.
Chanakya,
I fear its easy for us armchair generals to hurl criticism at BJP honchos for engaging a patently hostile angrezi media at all in the first place.
But do remember, its better to be inside the tent pissing out than vice versa. Right now, play along. Keep yourself in the picture. It pays to do so at the national level else sickular forces will have a field day rubbishing you with zero reposte.
Also, recall that desh never really saw a strong and stable non-kangress govt until ABV’s NDA. NDA’s single term of 5 yrs was too small to change 50 yrs of entrenched media interests. Once BJP gets into power, there are ways of turning media around. Yo can be sure every honcho of every channel and newspaper has skeletons in the cupboard just waiting to be exploited. And there are advantages, junkets, access and other such goodies to be had in collaborating with the dispensation in power. Of course UPA sarkar carried it to obscene lengths with the brazen back-scratching (MMS is CNN-IBN man of the year 2006 and CNN IBN honchos get padma bhushans in 2007 – wah bhai wah) but this game can be played in more than one way.
The worst thing we can do is to run away and leave the field to the psecs. We stick around, even when things aren’t going our way. That’s life. We play dumb, but we are not dumb. Big difference.
Besides, there are laws that can eject yamriki funding in the IBN and NDTV networks. These netwks better watch out for when the next sarkar comes in….
Just my 2 paisa.
/Have a nice day, folks!
sud,
Thats exactly what BJP is doing currently and thats exactly what English Media+Sickular parties *Expect* BJP to do.
My personal opinion is that such course of action yields limited benefits. They can do much better and some times arm chair generals can see the things much more clearly than those who are in the battlefield
I think it is freedom to telecast anything. It has to left to the prudence iof the citizens to decide whether they agree to it or not.
Secondly, the media was always made to earn money. You have to look at its roots and how it was started. Monetary and ideological stakes have always been at the center of how a media company is run.
Lastly, it’s time for the people in Indian democracy to mature and realize the real power lies with the people, not the media.
GUYS….SOME GOOD NEWS HERE:

Narashima Rao says that Muslim votes have been spilt between Congress and JD(S). That could be because of tactical voting by the Muslims as described in other story on Offstumped.
Interestingly, Yeddyurappa says that he is surprised by the support BJP is getting fom minorities.

BJP’s chief ministerial candidate B S Yeddyurappa exudes confidence about the party getting a comfortable majority and is amazed at the overwhelming support received from all sections, particularly the minorities.

This is hilarious. From the financial express. Congress leaders say UPA failed to check BJP. Can’t imagine they really believe this or if this horse manure dished out to pseudo secular media.
If they really believe this, they must be dense. BJP has nothing to worry about. Nobody buys Congress is secular bs apart from NDTV, CNN-IBN. Sachar, reservations etc and they call themselves secular.
UPA failed to block BJP, feel Cong leaders

@arjun…
I just skim thru. the main stream newspapers like TOI etc.
Nothing that is reported to be believed….
BJP once it comes back to power in 2009 must starta TRUTH COMMISSION to nail these rascals in the media.
Jiggs, Chanakya,
Do not give too much importance to media esp. Angrezi media. Historically they have been opposed to BJP, it did not stop BJP from growing.
When BJP gets power in 2009 I would be satisfied if they provide good governance and moral leadership.
@Mandar…Till how long do we have to follow the stupid Gandhian principles….
The MSM must answer our questions on such gutter style reporting.
Mandar…BJP once back in power must force these padmashri’s to answer our questions.
We must ensure that the BJP does that…I want to see Burqa Dutt and Rajdeep Slurdesai in the dock for lying to the nation.
@Jiggs. UPA must be deluded if they think people consider them secular. As the last vestige of Nehru’s policy wears off, Congress is in for a real surprise.
As regards terror, Congress is in catch 22 position. If they go after the terrorists sincerely, they run the risk of losing muslim vote. If they do not go after the terrorists, continuing terrorist attacks will drive Hindus closer to the BJP.
why is the media opposed to the bjp,
can any payment be considered?
cnn ibn,deccan herald,ndtv,the hindu,the new indian express,toi,the list is endless.
an investigation should be done.
if it is all about funding,the funds that these organisations receive from abroad should be countered by the payments of the sangh parivar.
the readers of offstumped can start raising a fund for the purpose.
In this blog Question is raised that WHERE IS CNN-IBN Exit Poll Result of Karnataka?????
Answer is Mr. Rajdeep + Mr.Yogendra YADAV is actually busy in doing Opinion Poll for “Most Prferred Leader”
Insider has informed that Result is:
Sonia Gandhi-First
Rahul Gandhi-Second
ManMohan Singh-Third
L.K.Advani-Fourth
arjun,the catch 22 position that you have suggested is the most innocent thinking i have come across.
it is the innocence of a new born child.
it is moving.
Jiggs,
I beg to differ on your characterization of Gandhian principles as stupid. I firmly believe that Gandhi was a great man, a great political fighter, not perfect but great.
I like his vision of Gram-Rajya, which I believe is very much in harmony with our Sanatana dharma.
Rajdeep Sardesai and Yogendra Yadav have now moved on from Gujarat and Karnatka elections and are now focussing on 2009 General elections….
Congress must have given them enough funds and favours to complete this exercise in favour of their Leader….
Well Sardesai’s and Yogender’s …we all know what you guys stand for……
So why do you waste your time and tax payers money (Money which congress gave to you)doing polls (Your polls go horribly wrong every time…)….when we already know what’s in it….
Guys,
Wait.
The third phase of elections are not over yet. The counting is not done. The results are not declared. Lets not jump the gun and declare victory for BJP just like CNN IBN guys have declared victory for Congress.
The real test for BJP is in Rajasthan & Madhya Pradesh. They need to retain at least one of those states. Also they need to ensure that they do not screw up in Maharasthra like they did last time.
@Mandar…Well thats your opinion.
@samurai….Great you are back….Sorry mate we baggered you last time around and you took to whining!
As you RIGHTLY said that the entire media is anti-BJP, we felt it was that way you confirmed it, why investigate now?
Come 2009 this will happen, whether you and your types like it or not?
Wow….THE KIMONO WITH A CROSS ON IT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU MATE….
@sharat….Rajdeep with his better half must be just doing that….
However, Yogendra Yadav is taking a crash course on CASTES in India to re kindle his quota system brains. I am sure dogface Arjun Singh is lending him all assistance.
Samurai,
>>the readers of offstumped can start raising a fund for the purpose.
We should eschew this model of paid papers as pied pipers. (Coundn’t resist that ha ha.) Anyways, a healthy media is one that presents news and fact without slant, colouring or bias. Funded media becomes party media, whose job it will be to run propaganda to further the sponsoring party’s interests, but not that of people.
Take Tehelka for example. After news leaked out that Tehelka.com used prostitutes to get sensational stories, the dot-com went into terminal decline. Tejpal raised funds from a bunch of communists, Islamists and other ideological extremists for a print edition. Result? Tehelka today is mouthpiece of these extremist voices.
Ot,how is tehelkas circulation developing?
does ideological extremists include the sangh parivar and sister organisations.
the blogworld should have its own reporters all over the country.
there should atleast be some attempt to look out the windows.
the blogworld should atleast accept that right now all it is doing is scouring the mainstream media.
jiggs,word warriors league of champions is topped by aryan and u share second spot with sud.
jiggs,could we also start thinking about an alternate army to rival the mainstream army.
@samurai…
word warriors league of champions is topped by aryan and u share second spot with sud.
Thanx I will take as a compliment….
could we also start thinking about an alternate army to rival the mainstream army.
Well, mate that’s for us Hindu INDIANS to decide, so don’t feel bad ( most certainly don’t whine) outsiders like you…We INDIANS are not comfortable discussing such matters….
Ooops….looks like you spilled MISO Tea on your KIMONO….
Suggestion: Why don’t you change your name to KAMIKAZE? It’s apt you know, the way you keep coming!!!!
jiggs,im trying to attract visitors to my blog,
its all business out here in the real world.
@samurai a.k.a KAMIKAZE
how is tehelkas circulation developing?
Your see their are many individuals who are looking for cheap fun….Tehelka is rated like porn…so the circulation keeps going up.
“the blogworld should have its own reporters all over the country.
there should atleast be some attempt to look out the windows.”
Well thats the idea isn’t it? All of us are somewhere and reporting here on what’s happening all over the country isn’t it?
“the blogworld should atleast accept that right now all it is doing is scouring the mainstream media.”
U R A Genius mate….We indeed are scouring the MSM and rightly so, Two MAJOR channels in the nation goes out it’s way to falsify truth to earn Padmashri’s.
So tell me why shoudn’t we do that.
Geee..Man…I am running out of my Jap vocablury now….anyways…due respect for our dear moderator…keep coming….
@samurai a.k.a KAMIKAZE
Hmmnn…..Well here’s my 2 paise then and change our blog identity to KAMIKAZE…It will attract more visitors to start with, appoint Tarun Tejpal and he will give you the secret to write lurid details of attrocities ( actually commited on Hindus) by Hindus on Muslims/ Xtians etc etc.
You should do well…Then
jiggs,the karnataka government under yeddyurappa removed eggs from the menu of midday meal in the schools in karnataka.
do you have any justification or information on that?
@samurai….May the kids were sick of eating eggs???
are eggs a source of nourishment or not?
Yes Eggs are a source of nourishment and so is Milk and other groceries..
Are you starting a blog on nourishment?
Dunno how much truth there is in the news report quoting BSY’s surprise at minority support for bhajpa.
Led me to wonder, suppose bhajpa were so string in a particular constituency that its win were near guaranteed, then how would its minorities vote?
Would they:
a) stay home i.e. not vote?
b) vote sicular anyway despite there being next to zero chance
c) vote bhajpa – as in, can’t kick them, join them!
There’s certainly some evidence to indicate that once IM popn crosses a certain threshold the yindoo vote cuts across caste lines and unites (look up G Subramaniam’s analyses in either india-forum.com or bharat-rakshak.com). But what happens when they are below a minimum threshold?
Samurai,
I was unaware of the issue. Just googled about it.
Here is my opinion. Simply leave it to the student and his parents to choose whether they want to eat egg or not.
I do not believe in either forcing some one to eat or not to eat eggs.
Does anyone else have any more info? Am I missing something?
chanakya,it is good for the kids,in tn two eggs are given per week,the kids look forward to it.
a vegetarian student will not accept it.
there is no question of forcing any students.
some swamiji seems to have influenced yeddy to take this decision.
if theres a contrary view,im looking forward to hearing it.
@sud…Our whining pal..samurai is back here and paid you, me and Aryan a compliment…read comment 26…
@samurai…
“some swamiji seems to have influenced yeddy to take this decision.”
So what’s the big deal?
What are you getting at,mate?
Samurai,
Thanks for the clarification. To be fair it seems Jains also raised concerns regarding this move.
There is no doubt that malnutrition is rampant among Indian children cutting across caste and religious lines. Eggs/fruits/nuts/milk could have been made optional.
samurai, maybe because commies always manage to have a lot of egg on their faces, yeddy decided that eggs are not cool to look at.
i have no idea about tehelka’s circulation. in the old dotcom days, they apparently used to publish important stories like ‘how to seduce your neighbor’s wife?’ etc. given they still went down, i’m suspecting they might have graduated to, ‘what if the editor is your neighbor?’ etc.
Jiggs birader
The troll is not worth my time. Neither should it be worth yours, IMHO. It has openly admitted its real reason for hanging around here… to score hits for its blawg. IOW, p1mping its own site. And gracelessly at that.
Anyway, as for angrezi dhimmedia, wouldn’t hurt to inquire into their sources of funding. Esp the seed capital. Surprise anyone that an upstart novice like IBN, in 2 yrs of its launch satiates the airwaves with access to any manner of bollywood and kirket personalities? Would any new channel have such access? So what accounts for this leverage, just wondering onlee. NDTV’s meteoric rise is another case in the point.
Anyway the Guj polls have shown the limits of dhimmedia’s clout with the voting public. The more they lie about obvious things, the more they lose credibility among the urban middle class voters as well. Never pays to treat your audience as dumb. The dhimmedia have already committed that cardinal sin and have ever since been trying to get out of that hole they dug up. But they only seem to dig deeper. At this rate they will emerge out of the otehr end of the earth. (:-D)
/Chalo, have a nice day, all.
@SUD…
TRUE…BROTHER…
Getting back to the topic…
CNN IBN is going to telecast exit polls on 22nd @ 8 PM. So any guesses what they are going to project? Let us see who will come close to the CNN IBN figures.
My personal guess is that in order to hedge their earlier prediction, CNN IBN is going to predict a hung assembly with Cong 95-105, BJP 85-95.
Let us see how close we are in reading the mind of eminent psephologist Shri Yogendra Yadav ji
sudboy,selfimportance has been encountered and shown up to be pathetic in its search for moorings.
u are a nicely bloated case.
Congress worried with the 2 big defeats in Gujarat and HP and another one in the waiting @ karnataka seems to have put their stalwarts the padmashris and gurudev yadav to work right from now for the 2009 general elections. let them find the most preferred leader…..and keep voting themselves to prove it is Madam / yuvraj.
By the way i feel these folks are like chameleons and it will be interesting to see how they may change their colours once BJP comes to power in the center.
we will be able to see if they are ideology oriented or power oriented.
@ Samurai,
Leave out eggs [they are needed to be thrown at Congressis' face], can you explain why the supply of food grains was suddenly reduced to 10 kg/ BPL family during Kumaraswamy-Yedyurappa tenure from 28 kg? And when the President’s rule was imposed, it was restored back to 28 kg. This is still lesser than what the NDA government was supplying the states — 35kg/BPL family.
>> CNN IBN is going to telecast exit polls on 22nd @ 8 PM. So any guesses what they are going to project?
>> My personal guess is that in order to hedge their earlier prediction, CNN IBN is going to predict a hung assembly with Cong 95-105, BJP 85-95.
Nope. They are going to put out the honest numbers their honest poll indicated. Because they are preparing ground for Lok Sabha elections, they need to shore up some credibility (badly mauled by the fabricated Guj poll) to bat for Congress phase-wise during that election (which will of course be a manipulated poll). At the same time, revealing honest exit poll results phase-wise in the Karnataka elections would have worked out to BJP’s advantage, hence the crypto-Congress channel wisely avoided doing that.
A week or so ago, I predicted that Rajdeep Slurdesai will follow the course outlined above, and he’s not failing me.
Ot,
good observation, one has to remember how sir-desai wrote a seemingly pro-modi article after guj elections comparing him to advani, to somehow make up for the blatant bias before the elections.

Reading Between The Lines – Rajdeep Sardesai by PI
http://theprudentindian.wordpress.com/2007/02/02/rajdeep-sardesaimodimody-co/
No ot,
They will do the chanakya has said, and then after the results are out, they come out and say, “One month before we said congress will win, then 3 days back we said hung assembly, now BJP won”, so u see the voter mind was drifting steadily and thats why we did not project it well , but our direction was right, within the last month congress lost all ground and BJP won. The worst part is that they will expect people to buy this explanation
Murali,
Unlike predictions from opinion polls, exit polls should be much more accurate simply because they are conducted ex-post and not ex-ante.
Getting opinion polls wrong maybe excusable, things changed last moment before polls opened. But there’s no excuse to getting exit polls wrong short of (i) poor methodology and sampling or (ii) ideological agenda peddling by the polling /news agency concerned.
I think OT has a point here. Getting exit polls wrong wont help INC anyway, won’t help IBN at all. They’ll probably hedge and call this one straight.
JMTPs etc.
where did the Congress warrior — Samurai go?
saakshi,
it seems to be a case of excess numbers of bpl cards and lower procurement problems.
Congress warrior’s weapon’s are sarcasm and eggs and they want to block BJP. Haha!
As Sud said this guy is not worth spending time over.
Sud,
I guess ur right, but how much credibility will they have if they were to make an “U-turn” between their opinion and exit polls. I mean some difference is ok, but a month back u say Congress will get 130, BJP will get 60 and now you say BJP will get 110 and congress will get 55. Thats a big difference. Maybe they wont even show exit polls, just like they did not show anything after phase 1.
I am really disappointed with BJP.They never kept their promises.That is the reason why they lost relevance in uttar pradesh.I think the only way bjp can get back to power is by building a grand ram temple in ayodhya.I have been supporting bjp from 3 grade.I still remember watching the demolition of babri masjid.But some how they are also thinking like congressi.By the way I am really happy to see so many nationalists at one place.Thank you yossarin for exposing these anti-nationals.
Folks, don’t take these pseudo intellectuals – whether pro Congress or pro-Communists or the so called cheer leaders of social harmony (like Setalvads who make rash statements, ex: “society has been polarised (by BJP)”) so seriously. You are giving undue importance to people who don’t deserve that much of your precious time.
You have to have an attitude – “I don’t give a God damn what you say or think”. When the foot soldiers of the party develop this attitude, it will help the party a great deal. Everything is in the attitude- that’s what is taught in IMA/NDA. That kind of attitude helps in hitting them hard where it hurts them most – their “ego”. They tried every tactic to influence the thinking of voters in Guj, they ended up losing. on TV they might put up a brave face and defend their half baked analysis, but behind the scenes they will be wrenching their hands in frustration. What more fun do you want. You can’t get better entertainment than that.
Haven’t you heard that saying, “The thrill in not in the kill, it’s in the chase”
Sud, I agree with you, a considerable chunk of voters wouldn’t have decided until the election day and it is this chunk that has the potential to turn the tables.
PS: At the same time BJP should have a knowledge and intellect base/people to match that attitude, it should desist from entertaining jokers in the party. There are differences between AnantKumar camp and Yediyurappa camp in Karnataka. Hopefully that internal dissent doesn’t lead to another coalition like last time – neither good for the country nor for Kannadigas.
CFore-SuvarnaTV-KannadaPrabha-Indian Express survey based on exit polls in I 2 phases and opinion survey of III phase gives the opinion as follows.
BJP (96-106) (Total vote gain in all 3 phases 5%)
Cong(73-83) (Total gain 3%)
JD(S) (32-38) (Loss – 6%)
Others (6-10) (Loss 2 %)
It agrees that BJP will be the largest party and will be close to majority. However the survey said congress was largest Party in I phase (eventhough exit poll after I phase gave congress less seats than prepoll survey) with around 39-42 seats. However NDTV showed loss for congress in I phase. The truth lies in somewhere.
I still believe in Narasmiha Rao’s prediction that BJP will get a comfortable majority and may reach 125.
Can somebody put a public website or blog to fire Yogendra Yadav for all his opinionated personal survey which gave congress majority while actually congress may be hard pressed to reach 60 seats.
The agenda-soaked pollster buffoons may think they can have it both ways. Their thinking is that “Even if they fail miserably, who will remember or care by the time the next poll arrives”? And here, they are inspired by the economists – all of whom are experts at predicting the last recession but seldom get called individually on their projections about the next one.
Recall that shri aasole bhupendra chaubey of IBN. How he hounded the bhajpa spokespeople and netas, how he pooh poohed all instances of bhajpa support and played up kangressi support… so confident he became that he could get away with brazen-ness that he overplayed his hand and mis-spoke to the great man Narendrabhai himself. Modi b1tchslapped him so hard, he never really recovered. Youtube must have that particular clip somewhere. He was nearly in tears when the Guj poll results came in. He dropped outta the radar for a few months after that and is now, surprise surprise, in a minor anchor role at IBN. So IBN basically rewards pollsters and journos who toe its ideological line, regardless of the damage they do to its credibility, hopeing janta will forget onlee.
So with Yogendra sahib. He figures he can get away with slander and BS because he knows it is IBN culture to reward its paaltoos. In his own way, Yogendra is flaunting his loyalty much the same way Arjun Singh was forced to do recently, and Buta Singh did, long ago.
P.S.
Speaking of b1tchslapping, anyone recall the infampous jaya interview by karan thapar….OMG! (:_D) ….Unforgettable is the word. Amma smacked Thappar so hard (figuratively), it will haunt his nightmares for yrs to come… *LOL*
Oh God, that ‘Jayalalitha – Karan Thapar’ interview is/was one of those rare entertainments.
Thapar was searching for words, it looked like Thapar was waiting for those 20-25 mins to get over. Jayalalitha was probably thoroughly pissed of with the media and was waiting for one unlucky. She is very shrewd/foxy, no wonder she is still surviving in Indian politics and dodging law after indulging in so much of corruption.
The last conversation of the interview:
Karan Thapar says: Chief Minister, it was a pleasure talking to you (his usual statement).
Amma retorts: I must say it was’nt a pleasure talking to you. Namaste!!!
http://blip.tv/file/109991

One way to send a message is by starting a movement to boycott. Arun Jaitley has asked people to write to the ombudsmen of newspaper companies which spread falsehoods during Gujarat election.

Samurai — “…excess numbers of bpl cards and lower procurement problems.” What a joke!
The number was OK during Dharam Singh regime. Was not OK for 20 months of Kumara-Yeddi regime and again OK during the President’s rule.
wow!
Let me end this discussion here. Accept that the UPA is blatantly biased when it comes to BJP ruled states.
@Saakshi…Samurai is a Kimono Clad anti Hindu…so don’t mind his views.
Samurai…is also a compulsive Whiner, he can’t accept facts….
I must say he is a troll ….Hey Samurai…mate no offences meant mate….after all …TRUTH MUST PREVAIL!!!!
saakshi,in a hurry to get out of that particular misinformation?
i went through the facts and it seems that the centres data has 31 lakh bpl families whereas karnataka has issued 72 lakh bpl cards.
35 kg was issued to release the excess storage in the godowns.
the quota was brought down in a year where procurement was deficient.
the state governments have to learn to impress the central government instead of working themselves into a fit.

Swapan Dasgupta weighs in on the Karnataka election.
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080516/jsp/opinion/story_9269233.jsp
From the article
The BJP in Karnataka was initially written off after a poll by Yogendra Yadav projected it running a whopping 11 per cent behind the Congress. Yadav’s poll corresponded to a belief in Left-liberal circles that the BJP is incapable of winning an assembly election in Karnataka. The reasoning was that, as a ‘Hindi, Hindu’ party, the BJP is out of sync with southern cultural traditions. In the first week of the campaign, the media, for example, were engaged in internal competition to show that the meetings of the Gujarat chief minister, Narendra Modi, were a flop. After the first phase, the tack abruptly shifted to concern over why Modi was getting an enthusiastic response. And after the Jaipur and Hubli blasts, the concern over Modi’s appeal may get shriller.
our Great Psephologist Mr.Yogendra Yadav along with Padmashri Journalist/Editor/Owner Mr.Rajdeep Desai is going to open their BOX on Exit Poll on their own Channel CNN at 8 PM.
MUST SEE AND ENJOY
Since BJP is now winning karnataka elections and these guys Rajdeep and Yogendra know it……it would be real fun to see how these guys will make an about turn on their early (funny)karnatka exit poll depicting Congress win…
Since the money has already changed hands…..and Yogendra and Sardesai have already given the favour once….
they must now be free to give unbiased and honest reporting this time….
Sharat…see it for urselves tonite on CNN IBN the two clowns going about their shady business……
Hey guys, CNN IBN is bringing their exit poll tonight at 8.00pm…lets see what Padamshri Rajdeep and the great Yogendra Yadav come up with this time….
IMO that ‘maut ka saudagar’ buildup last time in dec’07 was just a diversionary tactic to deflect blame frm the kangress and dhimmedia onto a convenient scapegoat.
This time too, expect the dhimmedia brigade to bat for the kangress by coming up with another unrelated diversion this time
