The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) is contemplating moving the court to get exit polls and pre-poll surveys and predictions banned if the Election Commission fails to act on the issue, Union Minister and party general secretary Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa said on Wednesday.
“The party has already started seeking legal opinion in this regard,” Dhindsa said in Ludhiana.
Strongly critical of the exit poll and pre-poll predictions about Punjab, Dhindsa described them as false, baseless, unscientific and politically motivated. He said, “The SAD-BJP combine would prove the truth of his statement by coming out with flying colours on February 24, the day the results are to be announced.
Dhindsa expressed dissatisfaction over the manner in which the very important issue of poll predictions is being dealt with by the commission, which on the other hand does not hesitate from issuing orders in a simple case of transfer of an SHO of a police station. Bureau Report
