Bad news for Congress in Chhattisgarh, MP Pre-poll survey 10/29/2013 11:51:06 PM Rustam JAMMU, Oct 29: Is the Congress losing very badly the upcoming Assembly elections in the BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh? If the findings of the pre-poll survey conducted by CSDS for the news magazine The Week and leading Hindi news channel IBN7 between October 14 and 20 is any indication, then it can be said that the Congress is going to face a crushing defeat in both the states for the third time in a row. The pre-poll survey said that the BJP will win the election very comfortably and the Congress's tally would come down. It said that the BJP will win seats between 61 and 71 seats in the 90-member House, as against its 2008 tally of 50 seats, if elections are held now, and the Congress will suffer a humiliating defeat. The Congress will win just 16 to 24 seats, as against its 2008 tally of 38 seats. The BJP would get 46 per cent of the popular votes polled and the share of the Congress would be only 32 per cent. It's a huge difference of 14 per cent. As for MP, the pre-poll survey said that the BJP will win seats between 148 and 160 in the 230-member House. In 2008, its tally was 143. As for the Congress, the survey said that it will win only 52 to 62 seats. In 2008, the Congress had won 71 seats. Not just this, the survey said that while the vote share of the Congress would be around 33 per cent, that of the BJP would be around 44 per cent, which means a whopping gap of 11 per cent. The story, in short, is that, according to this pre-poll survey, the BJP is winning the election in MP and Chhattisgarh for the third time in a row and the Congress losing it and losing it very badly. The prevailing situation in Jammu & Kashmir also suggests that the Congress and its ally, National Conference, would also bite dust as and when elections are held in the state. The Congress leadership needs to sit up and find why the people across the country are abandoning it.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
