| Congress destined to bite dust in Delhi, MP, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh | | 2013 Assembly elections | | Rustam
Jammu, Oct 5: The Election Commission of India announced the poll schedule for the States which are to elect new Governments in December 2013. The States are Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Mizoram. The Election Commission announced the poll schedule in the evening. The same evening, India News broadcasted pre-poll survey findings as far Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan were concerned. C-Voter-Sunday Guardian conducted the pre-poll survey for news channel India News. The findings were broadcasted at prime time - between 8 and 9 p.m.
The findings of the pre-poll survey once again indicated that a very strong anti-Congress wave is sweeping the States of Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. As per the pre-poll survey, which was conducted in the last week of September and covered 10,000 eligible voters, the Congress would suffer defeats in all the four States. It is likely to win 26 seats in Delhi in the 70-member House, as against its 2008 tally of 43 - a huge loss of 17 seats. It is likely to win 81 seats in Madhya Pradesh in the 230-member House, as against its 2008 tally of 71 - an increase of 10 seats. In Chhattisgarh, the Congress is likely to win 39 seats in the 90-member House, as against its 2008 tally of 38 seats - one seat more. In Rajasthan, the Congress is likely to win 68 seats in the 200-member House, as against its 2008 tally of 96 - a huge loss of 28 seats. Delhi has been under the Congress rule for 15 years without any break and Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh have been under the BJP rule since 2003 without any break. As for Rajasthan, the Congress dislodged the BJP Government in 2008.
The same pre-poll survey says that the BJP would win a comfortable majority in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh winning 133 and 48 seats, respectively. In 2008, the BJP had won 143 seats in MP and 50 in Chhattisgarh. In other words, the BJP is likely to lose 10 seats in MP and 2 seats in Chhattisgarh. The pre-poll survey also shows that the BJP would inflict a crushing defeat on the Congress in Rajasthan winning 114 seats, as against its 2008 tally of 78 - a huge increase of 36 seats. In Delhi, according to the pre-poll survey, the BJP would emerge as the single largest party winning 32 seats.
All these findings clearly suggest that the people are out to punish the Congress party not only in the upcoming Assembly elections in these four States but also in the upcoming general election. And this was not the first survey that suggested that the Congress would bite dust. All the surveys conducted during the part two years or so predicted defeat of the Congress and victory of the BJP in the general election as well as Delhi, MP, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. There is no need to point out the causes responsible for the unpopularity of the Congress party, as the people in general and electorate in particular are fully aware of what has gone wrong with the Congress party and the UPA Government, of which the National Conference is also a part. |
