TRS will sweep Telangana: India Today Group/CVoter poll
TRS will sweep Telangana: India Today Group/CVoter poll, Telangana Bill, TRS. A BJP-TDP alliance can pose a formidable threat to the TRS in the Telangana region.
Andhra Pradesh is moving from being a Congress bastion to a multi-polar state and will get a fractured mandate like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, reveals an India Today Group/CVoter snap poll on the battleground state after Parliament passed the Telangana Bill which paves the way for the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
Meanwhile, Telangana is on its way to become 29th state of the Union with Rajya Sabha approving a historic bill to carve it out of Andhra Pradesh amid vociferous protests by members from Seemandhra region as also from Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena. It will now go for presidential assent.
According to the India Today survey, national parties are beginning to play second fiddle to regional parties like in Tamil Nadu, UP and Bihar.
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), led by K. Chandrashekar Rao, is likely to sweep Telangana even without an alliance with the Congress, bagging 14 of the 17 seats in the region.
Despite the BJP not being in the reckoning on most seats across Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is by far the most popular choice for the prime minister's post.
A BJP-TDP alliance can pose a formidable threat to the TRS in the Telangana region.
With the party facing a rout in both regions of Andhra Pradesh, the only hope for the Congress is a merger or alliance with the TRS.
By itself, the Telugu Desam Party, led by N. Chandrababu Naidu, is not making much inroad in the two regions.
The party is projected to bag only 6 out of 42 seats in Andhra Pradesh, which mirrors its tally in the outgoing Lok Sabha.
Asaduddin Owaisi of the MIM retains his dominance in the Hyderabad seat.
Methodology of the poll:
CVoter conducted interviews of 1,500 randomly selected respondents in Telangana, Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra Pradesh on February 18 and 19 to understand their opinion on issues of Telangana formation.
Tracking data of 4,297 respondents across Andhra Pradesh during last eight weeks was also analysed to see the change in perception on the issue taking the total sample size to 5,797 respondents across all the regions. The data was weighted to known population profile to make it representative of state population.
There can be margin of error is +/- 3 per cent at state level and +/- 5 per cent at the regional level estimates. The grand total might sometimes yield a tally of 99 per cent or 101 per cent due to rounding off automation of figures by the computer.
