There could be a lot of difference between exit polls telecast by various national media channels and the one conducted by former Congress MP from Vijayawada Lagadapati Rajagopal, but there is some commonalty between the surveys of majority of the channels and his exit polls.
TRS seems to be in the grip of Lagadapati Rajagopal's exit poll survey, which predicted victory for Congress-led People's Front.
TRS president and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is believed to have devised a 'strategy' on elevating his son as Chief Minister of Telangana, in the event of TRS reelected to power in the Assembly election results to be announced on December 11.
The ongoing elections to the Telangana assembly are said to be the costliest ever held in this part – both in combined Andhra Pradesh and now in separate state.
Exit polls on Friday predicted a Congress sweep in Rajasthan and a Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) win in Telangana while giving the Congress an edge over the BJP in a fiercely-contested battle in both Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
While almost all the surveys by national agencies and channels predicted that Telangana Rashtra Samithi will return to power in Telangana even with a thin majority of seats, former Congress MP from Vijayawada Lagadapati Rajagopal has stuck to his earlier stand and predicted that the Maha Kootami or Praja Kootami will win the assembly elections.
About 70 percent of 2.8 voters votes in the Telangana Assembly election on Friday as the polling ended on a peaceful note, barring minor incidents.
It looks like Telangana Rashtra Samithi is going to retain power in Telangana with a slender margin in the just concluded assembly elections in the state, much to the disappointment of Maha Kootami or grand alliance of four opposition parties.
It is a known fact that the vernacular media in Telangana has been more or less favourable to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
The war of words between YSR Congress party and Jana Sena Party is intensifying with every passing day and leaders of both the sides are hurling abuses at each other, providing much needed fodder to the media.
Several MPs belonging to ruling Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh turned out to be big disappointment in spending of local area development funds sanctioned by the Centre in the last four and a half years, according to a latest report from the Centre.
Why didn't Junior N T Rama Rao campaign for his sister Nandamuri Suhasini, who is contesting as the Telugu Desam Party candidate in Kukatpally assembly constituency?
After a high-voltage campaign that saw war of words among contending parties, Telangana is set for Assembly polls on Friday with the Congress-led alliance challenging the ruling TRS, and the BJP seeking to make it a triangular contest.
It is just another four days to go to know the fate of Praja Kootami or Maha Kootami in the Telangana assembly elections.
A day before Telangana goes to polls, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) as well as the opposition Congress-Telugu Desam Party (TDP) alliance both claimed to have the support of the people of the state.
