New Delhi: Gujarat pradesh congress committee president Bharatsinh Solanki on Friday said that the party will win more than 120 seats in the state.

Addressing a gathering, Solanki said, "Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will meet the same fate in Gujarat polls as it met in Delhi and Bihar earlier. We will win more than 120 seats."

"Also, exit polls are showing our victory we should still wait for the results," he added.

Meanwhile, earlier in the day, the Congress rebuffed the exit polls that predicted the BJP sweeping the Gujarat polls.

Speaking to ANI, Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil said, "There have been many incidents where exit polls have been proven wrong. These exit polls will be proved wrong on the date of results, December 18."

Almost all exit polls on Thursday predicted more than 100 seats for the BJP in Gujarat.

In Himachal Pradesh, where the electorate has chosen the Congress and BJP alternately in Assembly elections, the exit polls projected a clear majority for the saffron party, unseating the Congress.

A party or an alliance has to win at least 92 seats in the 182-member House to form the government in Gujarat.

Today's Chanakya gave BJP 135 seats in Gujarat and predicted a measly 47 for the Congress, 14 less than the Opposition party has in the current Assembly. It predicted a vote share of 49 percent for the BJP and 38 percent for challenger Congress.

VMR exit poll predicted 113 seats for the BJP and 66 for the Congress, with the remaining going to others.

C Voter exit poll gave the BJP 108 seats and the Congress 74.

CSDS exit survey predicted a BJP victory in 117 seats as against the Congress's 64.

In the 2012 Assembly polls, the BJP had won 115 seats, the Congress 61 and others six.
