In today’s episode of ‘what’s trending on Twitter’, we bring to you a video of Indian news channel anchors giving their overview of the elections going on in the country in their unique, bizarre way.
Taking to the micro-blogging site, Ashok Swain, professor of ‘Peace and Conflict Research’ shared a clip of India Today anchors, including Rajdeep Sardesai, dancing after predicting the exit polls.
Sharing the video, Swain wrote:

People came in support of the news presenters saying that they were celebrating their accurate prediction of the exit polls.
I don't find anything wrong in this, thier prediction was spot on they did hardwork for predicting it they succeeded and they are celebrating , u wouldn't have tweeted if it was reverse ( talking only about exit poll) not godi media https://t.co/DCYXFZJgZA

They didn’t dance for any political party who won. They got almost all the exit polls right and the dance was for celebrating that. They fully deserve that. Great work at office has to be celebrated.

@cricketwallah They are celebrating their success of the exit poll prediction. I don’t understand a problem in that! I guess the problem is with you guys relating to victory of specific party! Everyone has a right celebrate their success

Rajdeep Sardesai cleared the air and said when they get their exit poll right, they celebrate with a 15-second dance.
👍🙏 next time, exit poll right or wrong, no more dancing! 😊
— Rajdeep Sardesai (@sardesairajdeep) March 12, 2022
We’ve said and done this before: when we get our exit poll right, we celebrate with a 15 second jig!
