New Delhi (Sputnik): Since exit polls emerged on Sunday forecasting Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance's return for a second term, Indian netizens have been sharing their thoughts on Twitter, with some clashes breaking out on the popular social media site.
Some users decided to poke fun at Indian opposition leaders and candidates for whom the exit polls are showing a somewhat bleak outlook despite their claims of snatching power from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Some netizens were clearly irritated by the exit polls.
For a moment let's accept the #ExitPoll2019, then it is also very clear that Ranga, Billa & Co. have managed to tampered maximum EVMs and have molded the election results to BJP favour.

The drama of #ExitPolls is just to convince us that everything is alright with #EVM.

BJP won't get over 200 and NDA will be under 230. If I loose, i will delete my account. If you loose, you have to tweet "i am a dumb Bhakt". #JeetegaToModiHi #ExitPolls
There were others who questioned the agendas of the election campaigning that preceded the polls, and some could not hide their despair.
I am just disappointed as how the torch bearers of democracy —@JhaSanjay & @ReallySwara are openly losing faith in the democracy of our nation.
