 Vijayawada: June 1 is the day on which the last phase of the 2024 general elections will be held in India. On the day, several organisations are expected to release their exit polls.

In Andhra Pradesh, people are already receiving anonymous calls seeking details about their choice in the May 13 polling. Recorded voices are giving them numbers 1, 2 and 3 to indicate whether they have voted for YSRC, Telugu Desam or another, not necessarily in this order.

Incidentally, majority of pre-poll surveys gave an edge to YSRC in the 2024 elections. Several surveys, after the formation of Telugu Desam, BJP and Jana Sena alliance, favoured the opposition alliance.

The rank and file of YSRC are on cloud nine with the statement of Chief Minister and YSRC president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy regarding re-registering a landslide victory in the 2024 elections, surpassing the 2019 mammoth tally of 151 MLA and 22 MP seats.

The statement of Jagan Mohan Reddy gave a boost to the ruling party candidates, leaders and cadres, who had been at the crossroads due to the claim of opposition TD, BJP and JS alliance that it will win 160 seats.

In the 2019 elections, India Today-Axis My India exit poll predicted that YSRC would win between 130 and 135 seats. It turned out to be close to the actual results. Other predictions varied significantly. INSS Media forecast a TD victory with 118 seats. I-News and LRG-FLASH also presented diverse outcomes.

In the last seven days, several exit polls have been conducted regarding the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, revealing varied insights.

For the assembly elections, majority of pre-poll surveys are giving an edge to YSRC, while others are favouring the TD alliance. In the process, the political atmosphere is heating up in the state.

However, many are waiting for the June 1 exit polls, so that they could have a better picture of what could be the result on June 4.
