Hyderabad: According to multiple surveys conducted in Telangana by different organizations, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (now Bharat Rashtra Samithi) is all set to win a big victory and retain power in the state after the 2023 assembly elections.
Polls conducted shortly after the Munugode poll victory showed the TRS comfortably home with a majority of more than 10,000 votes, suggesting the party would win more than 100 seats in the 119-seat parliament. In these constituencies, the party will have more than 35 percent of the vote in 94 seats, while TRS candidates will have more than 50 percent of the vote in at least 40 constituencies. In 16 seats, the party will get 30% or more of the vote.
According to five surveys conducted by different agencies, the survey shows that AIMIM will also win seven seats, and TRS will again have a two-thirds majority and easily retain power.
While the survey suggested that the BJP might clinch five or six seats, the most intriguing result was that the Congress ended up a distant second in the state. Although Congress will get only a nominal share of the vote, the BJP will drop to third place in all but a few seats where they have a chance of winning.
According to sources, the surveys are being conducted in two formats, one asking different segments of the public for their views on the TRS and the other offering a questionnaire to candidates in each constituency. While the answers indicated that all ministers would win with a majority, the party gained more support, with almost everyone involved in the poll making it clear that TRS would retain power in Telangana.
From migrant workers to farmers, from vendors to real estate developers, to ordinary people, they all agree that the most important thing of TS-bPASS is to maintain law and order, There’s no apparent reason to disrupt Apple’s shopping cart by voting against TRS.
Most respondents noted that BJP candidates lost deposits in 105 seats in the 2018 elections, while Saffron did nothing for Telangana that could change the situation. Also, people have witnessed what the BJP did during its rule in Karnataka and Maharashtra. Industrialists and businessmen in particular say the ‘hijab’ and ‘halal’ controversies have devastated Bengaluru’s high-profile Silicon Valley, while BJP leaders who take a 40 percent commission from contract works are also asking for bribes, they say, in Karnataka. Each construction project in the state ranges from Rs 30 to Rs 55 per sq ft.
On the other hand, surveys show that support for most TRS ministers is not only sustained but also increasingly appreciated. KT Rama Rao and T Harish Rao lead in all surveys, suggesting they will get 65 percent or more of the vote, while T Padma Rao comes in third with a projected share of nearly 60 percent.
The other ministers have projected vote share percentages of 50 or above for Errabelli Dayakar Rao and 51-52 for Vemula Prashant Reddy. Both S Niranjan Reddy and V Srinivas Goud will get 50% and above of the vote, while Puvvada Ajay Kumar will get 53%. Talasani Srinivas Yadav’s voting share will be between 53-54%.
G Jagadish Reddy is another minister expected to do well, with his majority itself expected to increase by around 20%. P Sabitha Indra Reddy’s forecast is for a 45-46% vote share, while Ch Malla Reddy’s forecast is for 53-54%. Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy is likely to get 52-53% support and re-election is easy for Minister Koppula Eshwar, except for MLAs Gampa Govardhan, Bigala Ganesh and Hanmanth Shinde.
In constituencies, while the TRS will sweep all 10 seats in Medak and Khammam, surveys suggest TPCC chairman A Revanth Reddy may only manage a 10 percent vote share in Malkajgiri. While many respondents thought it was a mistake to vote for BJP’s G Kishan Reddy, many believed the party’s M Raghunandan Rao would also lose this time around.
