2009 Indian general elections

The CVoter exit poll projections for India TV showed the UPA with 189–201 seats. It gives the Congress 149–155, the DMK between 9 and 13, the NCP 12–16 and the Trinamool between 12 and 16. The poll showed the BJP-led Front getting between 183 and 195 seats. It includes the BJP (140–146), the JD (U) 17–21.[71] In the end, in 2009 Indian general election, UPA got 262 (Congress – 206) and NDA 159 (BJP – 116).

2004 Indian general elections

The CVoter exit poll projections for Star News predicted NDA getting between 267–279 and Congress+Allies between 169–181.[72][73] In the end, in 2004 Indian general election, Congress+Allies (UPA) got 218 (Congress 145) and NDA got 181 (BJP – 138).

2014 Indian general elections

CVoter carried out tracking polls for Indian news networks Times Now, India Today & India TV. A television news channel claimed in a sting operation conducted by it that some of the agencies which conduct opinion polls before elections are willing to tweak their findings for money.[74] It included global giants like Ipsos and CVoter. Initially India Today Group suspended its CVoter contract.[75][76] However the promoters of "News Express" channel called "Sai Prasad Group"[77][78][79][79] itself got seriously criticised for a string of money laundering cases pursued by multiple Government probing agencies.[80][81] After series of inquiries and audits; the allegations were found animated and politically motivated as the Channel was supported by the ruling political party which was shown trailing badly in these opinion polls. The CVoter Exit Polls were duly carried by India TV and Time Now and all major regional networks of India.
