Stocks that are likely to lag are IT and consumer, although even they may go up in this celebration rally," noted Arora.

Veteran investor and founder of Helios Capital, Samir Arora believes the Exit Poll numbers are great from a market stand point and the benchmark indices should rally further, Arora told Moneycontrol on June 3, adding that his fund house is 'bullish at this point'.

Chances of any negative surprise look bleak for now, but Arora believes trader should not base their decisions on the mandate of 350+ seats. "As long as BJP gets enough seats to form a government it is enough", Samir Arora said.

The veteran investor is of that view that margin of victor may not really matter after a few days, and a clear mandate to form the government is enough for establish a sense for continuity for the market under Modi 3.0.

This has caused Arora to increased his long positions from around 60s to 70s. He indicated he might be open to raise it further if he finds "good opportunities" in trade today.

Following the results in the immediate term, the market's focus will continue to remain on stocks that are India-oriented, which have also been front-runners in the rally so far.

"This includes the usual suspects in manufacturing, power, defense, capital goods, banks and infrastructure. Stocks that are likely to lag are IT and consumer, although even they may go up in this celebration rally," noted Arora.

Following the exit polls, market experts are predicting a record uptick in the benchmark indices, given the expectation of political continuinity.
