Today's Chanakya says sorry for getting Bihar wrong, but still gets mercilessly trolled

Today's Chanakya had predicted 155 seats for the BJP-led NDA

The oddly named star pollster Today's Chanakya apologised for getting its exit poll on Bihar assembly elections completely wrong.

"We sincerely apologise all our friends & well wishers for not able to predict Bihar. Congratulations to the winning alliance," Today's Chanakya tweeted.

Today's Chanakya had predicted 155 seats for the BJP-led NDA and a mere 83 for the Grand Alliance of the Janata Dal-United, Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.

When the results came out, it was JDU-led alliance, which had got the seats Today's Chanakya had predicted for BJP.

Psychologists would be baffled by Today's Chanakya’s apology as exit polls are not an exact science and are expected to go wrong. But Today's Chanakya had built a stellar reputation by getting right the last two parliamentary elections and the state elections between them.

It was only in the last year’s New Delhi polls and today’s Bihar polls it saw its numbers going haywire.

But an apology was not enough, Today's Chanakya still got mercilessly trolled on Twitter.

Today's result discredits both pollster Today's Chanakya as well as Amit Shah's image as a modern-day Chanakya.
