Exit Poll Results 2019: Methodology of News18-IPSOS Survey For Lok Sabha Election Predictions
The News18 exit poll has been conducted by IPSOS, world’s top international pollster that boasts a solid track record of predicting the electoral results of several elections around the world with accuracy.
Here’s how the survey was conducted:
To envisage the number of seats likely to be won by each of the political parties (or alliances) contesting the general election, total 199 parliamentary constituencies were selected out of 543 constituencies across 28 states.
Within the parliamentary constituencies, 796 assembly constituencies were selected, and then 4776 individual polling station areas were selected for conducting interviews. In each polling station, around 25 voters were randomly selected depending on the terrain and voter turnouts in that particular polling station. Total 1,21,542 voters were interviewed from 199 parliamentary constituencies.
Stage 1: Selection of PCs was done considering past election results at the parliamentary constituency level like –
- Constituencies where a party has not lost an election in the past two / three elections
- Constituencies where the winning margin is low
- Constituencies which flip-flop election to election
- Constituencies that have “heavy weight” candidates
Stage 2: Four to six assembly constituencies were selected in each parliamentary constituency using systematic random sampling (SRS) process.
Stage 3: In each assembly constituency, six polling stations were selected using systematic random sampling (SRS) process.
Stage 4: Voters were randomly selected outside the polling station. Every third voter coming out after casting vote were selected.
Survey was conducted on the election day in all seven phases of the polling. The interviewing process starts when the polls open and continues throughout the day until polls close to ensure better representation of the voters, coming in at different time cluster for voting.
Each polling booth was covered for one hour, by three interviewers. They then moved to next polling booth. All interviews were conducted using Computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) devices.
To overcome prejudice/response bias, election symbol including party name of key parties contesting in respective constituency were shown in one screen. When asking voting related questions, a virtual polling booth scenario was created, wherein we hand over the data capturing device to respondent on which they were allowed to mark the party they had voted for.
The questionnaire was translated into vernacular language which is mainly spoken in the respondents’ state. Data was weighted to reflect the constituency profile on age, gender, caste, religion and voter turnout

Italian Court judgment exposing Sonia Gandhi & Manmohan Singh in AgustaWestland Deal (Full report)
The complete judgment of Italian Appellate Court in Milan in the AgustaWestland bribery case.
By Team PGurus - April 26, 2016
The complete judgment of Italian Appellate Court in Milan in the AgustaWestland bribery case.
The complete judgment of Italian Appellate Court in Milan in the AgustaWestland bribery case.
This article lists the complete judgment of an Italian Court in the case of bribery in selling AgustaWestland helicopters to India
The Italian court’s judgment exposes the role of Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh in AgustaWestland Chopper Deal. The 225-page judgment also reveals that Sonia’s Political Secretary accepted the commission of €15 to 16 million ($17 – 18 million) from the middlemen. The judgment of the appeal court in Milan convicting AgustaWestland chopper company chief Giuseppe Orsi described how the firm paid bribes to top Congress leaders in India and lobbied with them to bag the Rs 3600-crore ($451 million) deal. Reproducing the handwritten notes seized from middlemen, the judgment says that the political leaders accepted the commission of 15 to 16 million Euros (around Rs.120 to 125 crores) in the controversial purchase of 12 VVIP chopper deal. It also names the role of Sonia Gandhi’s trusted aide and AICC General Secretary Oscar Fernandes and the then National Security Advisor MK Narayanan (Page 193).
Mrs. Gandhi and her closest advisers are the people who the British ambassador should target…
The 225-page judgment of the appeal court in Milan also annexed several documents, handwritten notes exchanged between the middlemen on how the total commission of Euro 30 million between India’s political leaders, bureaucracy, and Air Force officials.
Payoff details of Euro 30 million for the AgustaWestland chopper deal
Sonia Gandhi’s name (signora GANDHI) is mentioned four times, two times each on page 193 and 204 of the judgment, convicting Orsi and other officials of Finmeccanica, the firm which manufactures AgustaWestland VVIP Choppers. Orsi and other officials were convicted for four and a half years.
A letter dated March 15, 2008, seized by investigators shows the main middleman Christian Michel, who is still a fugitive, writing to Peter Hulet, then India region sales and liaison head of the helicopter company. The letter states that Sonia is the main driving force behind this deal and she will no longer fly in the existing MI- 8 choppers. The letter is quoted verbatim in the judgment. Details of lobbying and corruption of Congress leadership, writing to the then British High Commissioner in India that he should target top Congress leadership for clinching the deal are clearly explained.
Names of Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Ahmed Patel in Pg 204“Dear Peter, since Mrs. Gandhi is the driving force behind VIP will no longer fly in the MI-8. Mrs. Gandhi and her closest advisers are the people who the British ambassador should target,” said the letter of Michel seized by the probe team. This letter was seized from the home of arrested middleman Guido Haschke in later early 2013.
The judgment also says Haschke had identified all the Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi and Ahmed Patel on the court when their photos were shown to him during the trial by the Italian prosecution.
The Page 9 of the Judgment also affixed the handwritten note of Michel exchanged to Haschke on how to distribute the total commission of 30 Million Euro. Air Force officials were allotted six Million Euro and Bureaucracy including Defence Ministry officials to be allotted 8.4 Million Euro. The note gives split up to several top bureaucrats like DG Acquisition, Defence Secretary (DS), Joint Secretary(JS) etc. For more, see the interactive Pie chart below:

Bureaucracy 8.4
The note says Political leaders were to be allotted 15 to 16 Million Euro and the name shown to political level was noted as AP. Only one political leader to whom the money handed over is shown as AP, which refers to Ahmed Patel as confirmed on page 204 (see picture above). The note also shows on sharing the commission with ‘Family’ and the Judgment says it meant the family of the then Air Force Chief S P Tyagi.
Page Nos. 163 and 164 names Manmohan Singh and details that Orsi used Italian leadership and diplomats to contact the then Prime Minister to scuttle the probe by non-cooperation from Indian government side. In Page 163, the Judgment produces a hand-written note by Orsi from jail in July 2013 asking his people to contact then Italian Prime Minister Monti or Ambassador Terracciano to call Manmohan Singh.
Handwritten note by Orsi to call PM Singh
“Call Monti or Amb. Terracciano in my name to ask him to call the PM Singh,” said the note seized from the prison cell of Orsi. The Judgment in several areas blames the non-cooperation from Indian authorities including Defence Ministry and other probe agencies in 2013.

Below is the translation of Pages 162-165 of the judgment. The complete judgment (in Italian) is at the end of this post. The grammar may not be perfect in some sentences – it is reproduced here for completeness.
The documents also show a wide range of “surrounding” circumstances that outline a more widespread and grave dimension of the case (both from the point of view of the number of the people involved and in terms of financial data than it appears from the description given in Chapter A) which is unlikely to be clarified, due to the limits that the investigations have met in the present case, particularly because of the lack of responses from countries involved in the case, to the requests of assistance placed by the Italian Judicial Authority: this showing a substantial disregard to arrive at a full explanation of the facts, effectively demonstrated by the procedural behavior of the Indian Ministry of Defense (which brought a civil action in the criminal proceedings in the first instance of this judgment), already effectively stigmatized in the appealed judgment.
This attitude of the Indian authorities with regard to this trial clearly brings to mind an episode that occurred to ORSI during the preliminary investigation, and falls within the context of the previously mentioned initiatives of the defendants intended to disperse and tamper the evidence, and to create elements which are favorable and coherent with the pre-agreed line of defense.
In the period in which the above (ORSI) was jailed at the prison of Busto Arsizio, the custodial agents found in his cell, among his papers, a handwritten note (a copy of which was produced in the proceedings) which reads:
“Call Monti
or amb. TERRACCIANO
in my name to ask him
to call the P.M. Singh”
Given the date on which the document was found (03/07/13), the information contained in the text, the context in which the protagonists of this story act and move, and other indications which appear from the documents, it is possible to identify the people mentioned (in addition to the lawyer of the defendant):
“Monti”: it is undoubtedly the former Prime Minister Mario MONTI, at that time still in office;
“amb . TERRACCIANO”: can be identified as Pasquale TERRACCIANO, previously ambassador in Madrid, and, at the time, Diplomatic Advisor to the Prime Minister;
“P.M. Singh”: the initials before the surname unequivocally lead to Manmohan SINGH, Prime Minister in India from 2004 to 2014.
We are obviously not in a position to determine what was the message that ORSI, during his detention, intended to send to the Head of the Government of India, but the same can be guessed if we think – on one hand – about the outcome of the requests for judicial assistance sent to Indian Authorities, of which we spoke about above, and – on the other hand – about the intense activities of evidence tempering which the protagonists of the story carried out for a considerable period of time, and with a considerable deployment of resources.
The memories written by the defense “skip” to talk about such activities. They dedicate them only a few lines of the extensive defensive memories of Spagnolini dated 03/24/16:
“This is the lawful alternative explanation that takes into consideration also Haschke’s wish … to get rid of some papers – which instead have been found at Agusta and that pertained to consulting activities provided by GORDIAN and which could be mixed with the contract of engineering works”.
In addition to the attempt of the defense to circumscribe Haschke’s behaviour to the hiding of “some papers”, the defense here repeats the same reductive interpretative line already seen for the dialogue between Haschke and GEROSA on the corruption and omits to quote any reference to the prolonged tampering activities of the evidence base directly attributable to the accused, and any reference to the agreements on the defensive line and on the representation of the incident to be provided to the Judicial Autority in order to give a semblance of legality to their relations: this, given the absence of any explanation from interested parties or contradicting versions, inevitably results in a further argument in favor of the prosecution.
In brief, from the analyzed conversations we can get unequivocal indications about:
The corruption of an Indian public officer, identified as the cousin of the Tyagi brothers: in this regard, the explicit content of the dialogue is sufficient to establish the “reasonable belief that corruption took place” (recalling GEROSA’s own words);
The involvement of different people in the task, including AGUSTAWESTLAND, ORSI, Bruno (SPAGNOLINI), Gautam (KHAITAN), Juli TYAGI;
the instrumental connection between the corruption and the Indian contract
the money used for this purpose, the amounts transferred to accounts in Mauritius Islands, the cash payments in favor of the Tyagi “family” and other Indian people, still in progress at that time;
the means and tricks used for the creation of the illicit funding.

Speaking at his second rally in Uttar Pradesh, Amit Shah said, "For 55 years, Rahul baba and company ruled the country but did not do good to the poor. These people did nothing except cause corruption."
He highlighted Modi's visit to the Kumbh Mela, and notwithstanding the controversy surrounding the invocation of Armymen in campaign speeches, brough up the Pulwama massacre and said, the Air Force, upon Narendra Modi's direction, went to Pakistan to conduct "surgical strikes" as revenge.

BJP's candidate for Mathura, Hema Malini, said on Saturday that it did not matter who voted for BJP and who did not when it came to helping people. Hema was reacting to Maneka Gandhi's line to Sultanpur's Muslim voters a day ago, in which she asked them to vote for her if they wanted jobs.
"On the triple talaq issue too, many women of the minority communities supported us. Even if they had not, we would have helped them. You have to help everybody, it doesn't matter who voted for us and who did not," she said.

What was the religion of Feroze Gandhi?

Updated Aug 29, 2018
I can with certainty say Feroz was a Muslim. when Jawahar Lal Nehru unable to convince Feroz to become a Hindu. He consulted Mahatma Gandhi.
On the advice of Mahatma Gandhi Feroz asked to accept Mahatma Gandhi as his adopted father to be his adopted son enabling him to pass on Gandhi's title to Feroz
Nehru was very much upset with Indira Gandhi's adamant decision of marrying Feroz. Nehru was an agnostic, if not an atheist. He was not opposed to acknowledging a Muslim as his son in law. But he had other problems.
He has to show the nation that his Hindu daughter had to lead India as he(Nehru) was not having male issues., to my knowledge enabling to pass on the prime minister post to Indira Gandhi but the children of Indira Gandhi shall become a natural Muslims!
Nehru was in dilemma and according to Gandhi's proposal, Feroz was made Gandhi's legal heir his son thereby showing the world the children of Indira Gandhi to become Hindu offspring. hope I tried an answer.
It is not very clear as to what religion Feroze Gandhi actually born & and the politically sponsored theories are all around in the air.
First of all its a matter of sheer shame for Indians that we are so easily provoked and channelized on communal lines and so we are divided.
One of the stories that looks to me more authentic is that of him being parsi by birth. Simply google him and read his concise history, it will reveal his family names and relative all being parsis. His body after his death rested in a parsi cemetery.
Feroze Gandhi's name may not ever have prefixed Khan as is popularized...(more)
Google it it states in bold letters ISLAM.
Feroze Gandhi was born in a Muslim family in Mumbai , who later called him Parsi. His father's name was Jahangir and mother's name was Ritimai (Muslim).Actually Ritimai was a parsi but she converted to islam for marrying Jahangir.
Feroze and Indira married twice once in AnandBhavan(Allahabad) as per hindu rituals and then in London as muslim rituals.
Does the husband of Indira Gandhi, Feroz is a Khan or Gandhi?
Why did Feroze Jehangir Ghandy change his name to Feroze Gandhi?
Was Feroz Gandhi a Muslim?
How did Indira Feroz Khan became "Indira Gandhi"?
What is the truth behind Feroze Gandhi (Indira Gandhi's husband)?
Who was Feroz Gandhi and how did he end up marrying Indira Gandhi?
