NEW DELHI, March 10 (Xinhua) -- India's main opposition Congress party's second-in-command Rahul Gandhi Friday rejected the results of all exit polls that predicted a win for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the assembly elections in the politically important state of Uttar Pradesh.
Almost all exit polls have suggested a clean sweep for the BJP in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh with the state's ruling party and its alliance partner, Congress, trailing in the second place. Votes will be counted Saturday, along with four other states.
"Our alliance is winning. Such exit polls we saw in Bihar also. We will talk Saturday," the Nehru-Gandhi scion told the media in the national capital.
In the neighboring eastern state of Bihar, exit polls had suggested a clear win for the BJP after the assembly polls there two years ago, but the regional ruling Janata Dal (United) led by the state Chief Minister Nitish Kumar got the mandate to rule the state for another five-year term.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress has tied up with the ruling Samajwadi Party led by its young Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who is seeking a second straight term. Yadav has not ruled out post-poll alliance with the state's main opposition Bahujan Samaj Party to keep the BJP out of the state.
Most exit polls in India have predicted that the BJP could get over 210 out of the 403 seats in Uttar Pradesh assembly.
