The INDIA bloc, including the Congress, announced participation in exit poll debates after a meeting at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's residence. This follows Congress's previous decision to abstain from such debates, citing a desire to avoid speculation before official results on June 4. Pawan Khera, Congress's media head, stated the bloc aims to expose the BJP's influence on exit polls. Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J.P. Nadda criticized the initial boycott, suggesting it indicated Congress's electoral defeat. The exit poll results for the Lok Sabha elections will be aired on June 1.
