Alliance to sweep AP?As the election season unfolds, there is heightened interest in survey results, particularly regarding the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana polls. A local survey agency named RISE has recently released findings from their survey in Andhra Pradesh, indicating potential outcomes for the upcoming elections.
According to RISE, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), JanaSena, and BJP alliance is projected to win between 108 and 120 seats in Andhra Pradesh, while the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) may be restricted to 41-54 seats. The agency's credibility is supported by its accurate predictions in previous elections, including in Telangana and Karnataka.
The survey suggests that the alliance's strong performance in the Uttharandhra region and anti-incumbency factors could contribute to its comprehensive victory. The Andhra Pradesh Assembly Elections 2024 have become a focal point, with the ruling YSRCP, led by CM YS Jagan, and the opposition TDP, led by former CM Chandrababu Naidu, engaged in a fierce battle. The NDA's presence adds further intensity to the dynamics.
Various surveys, including one by election strategist Prashant Kishor, indicate a significant advantage for the TDP alliance. KK Surveys, known for their accuracy in the 2019 assembly elections, have also released compelling results, forecasting over 100 seats for the Alliance (comprising TDP, Jansena, and BJP) in Andhra Pradesh. The survey suggests a comfortable majority for the TDP alliance, with already secured majorities in 71 seats for TDP, JSP, and BJP combined, compared to 34 for YSRCP. While the remaining 70 seats are still contested, the overall trend indicates a clear path to victory for the TDP alliance, poised to secure at least 100 seats in the upcoming elections.
