The Congress announced it will now participate in exit poll debates, reversing its previous decision to abstain from them, which it had termed as "speculation and a slugfest for TRP." This decision followed a meeting with the INDIA bloc parties on Saturday, coinciding with the last day of polling in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, reported ANI.

Party spokesperson Pawan Khera stated that the INDIA bloc parties have resolved to "expose" the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its "ecosystem" concerning the "prefixed exit polls."
