Survey predicts TRS win in 2019

Hyderabad: A C voter survey predicts that the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) under the leadership of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will sweep the Lok Sabha elections in Telangana. 

According to the survey, the TRS will win 16 of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in the state. The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) which is a friendly party to the TRS will retain its Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat. 

The survey said that the TRS will win the 16 Lok Sabha seats with a 42.4% vote share. In Andhra Pradesh, the survey predicted that the YSR Congress will win 14 of the 25 Lok Sabha seats. The ruling Telugu Desam party alliance with Congress will win eight Lok Sabha seats and the Congress will win three. 

According to the survey finding, the efforts of AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in uniting the anti-BJP parties at national level will help the Telugu Desam win Lok Sabha seats. 

An earlier survey done in October predicted that the YSR Congress would win 21 Lok Sabha seats and Telugu Desam only four. But in the last two months the situation has changed. The YSR Congress will get 41.6 per cent vote share and the TD-Congress alliance will get 38.2 per cent vote share.

The BJP will get 11 per cent vote share and others will get 9.3 per cent vote share, the survey predicts. 

Just within two months the political scenario in AP has changed unexpectedly, according to the survey. The YSR Congress has come down to 14 from 21 seats and the Telugu Desam has increased its seats to eight from four.
