The Jagan Mohan Reddy led YSR Congress party which came to power in Andhra pradesh with a huge majority in 2019 assembly elections, has lost three MLC gradutes’ elections.Some of the YCP leaders believe that the commissioned surveys which projected YCP’s win easily have misled CM Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The Chief Minister has commissioned survey from various sources to gauge his party’s true strength at the grassroots level.These same survey teams were engaged prior to the 2019 elections and have been projecting inflated numbers to boost up the party’s image in order to keep Jagan in right spirits.
These surveys are not limited to elections but also cover the popularity of welfare schemes.Each time a new scheme was introduced, the surveys reported that people were fully satisfied.
This created a false sense of complacency in Jagan and led him to stay home rather than engaging with the public.Consequently, the survey teams were able to prevent Jagan from learning about the ground-level reality.
With regard to the election results, however the predictions of these surveyors proved to be just fotunate as the party was winning with large margins.These victories bolstered Jagan’s confidence in the surveys, which made him to rely on them blindly.
He even believed that he could win elections by simply staying at home.
Recently, all of the surveys Jagan received predicted that the party would win the graduate MLC seats by a thumping majority.
However, the actual results were quite the opposite.Apart from these, even exit polls presented to Jagan claim candidates winning with a very good margin, including the Vizag MLC.They have even misled by stating that the candidates would win with a 65% majority.
It is high time for Jagan to question how all the surveys predicted such a positive outcome for the MLC elections when the result is opposite.
