A Survey is usually intended to examine someone or something to know the status on various aspects. Nowadays, the basic purpose of survey and its definition seem to have been changed by the politicians.
Right now, surveys are being conducted by either political parties or their pro media houses. The sole purpose of the surveys is either to threaten their opponents or to defend their acts.
It is a known news that the PM Narendra Modi ensured a survey conducted on demonetization recently. And shockingly, 90% of the people supported his decision. Although Modi's supporters felt it a genuine survey, many opponents treated it as an act of defense while some other felt it a laughingstock.
It has been learnt that the ruling TDP in Andhra Pradesh also ensured a survey conducted through its pro media house CBN on the statuses of various political parties at the moment. Quite naturally, surveys results say, TDP would get the victory if the general polls are conducted now. YCP will be confined for 50 seats while Janasena would just win a single digit number of seats with just 4% vote share. According to analysts, this a kind of strategy to threaten Janasena's head Power Star Pawan Kalyan. If at all such feelers are sent to Pawan Kalyan, the star would remain to be the loyalist of the TDP and would ally with the TDP in 2019's general polls. However, it's a million dollar question whether Pawan Kalyan trusts TDP's surveys or not.
