A sample size of 100 people from different age groups from each Assembly constituency is being used for the survey. For confidentiality, even the intelligence department is under cover.

Survey
Interestingly, the public are posing questions to the surveyors (intelligence officials) about who they are, what the survey is for and whether such a government survey confirms Pawan Kalyan’s growing political presence.
According to sources, the results till Sunday say that Pawan Kalyan has strong roots among Kapu, Balija and Vaddera communities but not in BC, SC ST communities.
Pawan Kalyan has stronger support in northern Andhra Pradesh than in Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. The full result would come out only after November 30.
