    It will be interesting to see if the exit polls really pan out. It could be like those "rushes" that say that the (utter flop) movie is "great and everyone should watch it". People could be saying things they think the pollster needs to hear hoping to see themselves on TV :)

    Steve granted that exit polls aren't 100% accurate. They hae a margin of error of about plus or minus three per cent. But very rarely have they gone totally wrong. and exit polls aren't conducted on TV though the results are shown on the small screen. So there is no question of those polled saying something to please the pollster so that they can get their 30 sceconds of fame on TV.

    it's quite possible that there may be cameras around to encourage ready and willing participation in exit polls. They may have not shown any of it...yet.

    Anyway, the last time they had polls in Delhi Assembly, the exit polls predicted much smaller number for AAP. The actual win # was way outside the margin of error.

    In this, they predicted AAP to be the distant third!

    The he sub inspector said on live tv that she never tired to take the credit away. If my team member at work does some thing, I also get some credit. Isn't that natural?

    I also feel AAP leaders are very immature. Try reading ashuthosh's tweets. If they rule well, good for Delhi. If not, it's will be all chaos like last time kejriwal did.

    I also noticed the same in headlines today. Rajdeep sardesai was promoting AAP. Also if you look at times now debates, so called "neutral" journalists in the panel support Aap.

    Please try reading all the tweets by MEA in twitter. I am not talking about one single fisher man. They did a very good job evacuating people from Iraq conflict zone. Some how, I don't see this in any of the media/tv debates. I feel modi gov should communicate more.also what do you mean by PM doesn't get any credit? He has to go there personally and evacuate people to get credit?

    i understand you support kejriwal and I also used to support him. But got fed of that 49 day drama. He left the CM chair just to go and fight against modi in Varanasi. He might be a good activist and can do dharnas well, but I don't think he will be a good CM. THEY have promised so many things in their manifesto like 150000 cctvs without even thinking about the budget. So let's see how he will fulfill all these. If he does, good for Delhi and india.

    PM's wardrobe is impacting his work? What's wrong if prime minster of our country is always well dressed? wonder why media never questioned the money spent for Gandhi family's trips to abroad.


    I don't understand the sermons to watch growing religious intolerance. When Kashmiri pundits where thrown out, I wonder where these people where?

    AnjanaG, there is a difference between being well dcressed and publicly flaunting your narcissism/ All well dressed people don't wear suits with the pinstripes embroidered with his name all over.I am sure when he met Obama like that the US President must have had a hearty laugh mentally.

    I agree ree that pin stripe was little too much. But hey, as long as he is not looting my country, I am good with that!
