I stand by my numbers that we will cross 146 seats: DK Shivakumar

My first reaction is that I don't believe these numbers (exit polls). I stand by my numbers that we will cross 146 seats. People are highly educated and are looking at larger interests because the double engine has failed in Karnataka.
