The election strategist Prashant Kishore who earlier worked for Modi is a busy man these days with Telugu politics. Heis working for YSRC in AP and the Congress in Telangana. He has conducted a survey here in AP for YSRC and found out that the TDP is doing well in the state and it might take a lot of time for the anti incumbency to set in.
The Prashant Kishor survey says that Janasena hasn’t reached deep into people yet although it’s popular with youth. Despite Pawan fighting alone and raising issues once in a while, it’s said that people opined that they don’t have any opinion on Pawan’s party yet.
However, if Janasena contests alone, it’s expected to divide TDP’s vote share and that may help YSRCP to an extent. But Prashant seems to have not taken this into the account while doing the survey.
It’s said that Opposition leader YS Jagan popularity is coming down day-by-day. Among people who wants to vote for YSRCP, 40 percent wants to vote to see YS Jagan as CM while 60 percent opt for other options including anti government vote.
Apparently, the survey opined that people are unhappy with Jagan banking on Roja, Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, Vijay Sai Reddy, others. Among people who wants to vote for YSR Congress, 78 percent opined that Roja, Chevireddy are defaming Jagan. Apparently, Roja and Chevireddy’s behaviour in the Assembly has worked against YSRCP.
Muslims and Christians are reportedly not trusting Jagan Reddy. Especially, after Jagan’s meeting with PM Narendra Modi and announcing his party’s support to BJP in Presidential election, minorities said to have their own apprehensions on Jagan. It’s opined that YSRCP is personally attacking individuals rather than government’s failures, problems of people.
As TDP joined hands with BJP, Muslims and Christians are not keen to vote to TDP. Corruption at few levels of government and the poor functioning of officials are said to be the factors that are affecting TDP’s prospects.
When it comes to Telangana, the top guns of the BJP have suggested the TS BJP unit not to go against KCR and TRS here as they are supporting the BJP for the presidential election. The Congress has also stopped attacking TRS as some congress leaders were also involved in the land scam here in the RR district.
