All those watching TV would have been highly amused by how quickly panelists changed their tune: having discussed reasons for BJP’s victory, they now had to give reasons for its defeat. Sometimes, they used the same arguments: it was Modi’s agenda for development that was giving BJP a win: no, no, it is Nitish’s development work that has worked wonders for him!
So what happened in hour that turned victory into defeat and vice versa?
On NDTV 24×7, Prannoy Roy said it had never happened before- there was a very fundamental error. Chaubey boasted that unlike the other channels, CNN-IBN had conducted its own counting on the ground along with ETV—which is why they got it right. Yogendra Yadav jokingly said, it was ‘the triumph of the locals over the national’ (NDTV 24×7)—and he seemed to be right. Most national news channels go by figures put out by Nielsen while the regional channels went by the reports of their people at the counting centres. more
