FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
A Google Keyword Search for checking NDTV’s Poll of Polls for the 2023 Karnataka elections yielded no results. We could not find any such creative on their social media handles as well. This indicates that the screenshot might have been morphed.
While searching the Twitter handle of NDTV, we found a recent tweet from May 3, 2023. The tweet displays the viral picture with Fake written over it. The organisation debunked the screenshot and clarified that it is misleading and that the channel would run Poll of Exit Polls on the evening of May 10.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming NDTV released opinion polls announcing victory for Congress in the upcoming Karnataka elections, is false.
