The ruling YSR Congress MLAs and leaders are currently engaged in another round of door-to-door campaigning under the banner of "Jagananne Maa Bhavishyattu" (Jagan is our future).
As part of this program, party leaders and legislators are visiting every house, interacting with family members, and affixing a sticker.
While leaders and MLAs interact with family members, I-PAC team members assess voters.
I-PAC members, who follow every leader and MLA across the state, count guaranteed votes, doubtful votes, and anti-votes.
The guaranteed vote is to be protected, the doubtful vote is to be consolidated, and attempts will be made to convert the anti-vote into a favorable vote.
I-PAC team members assess voters based on their reactions and body language when leaders meet them and seek their blessings.
This assessment will provide a clear idea of the number of Assembly seats that the YSR Congress is likely to win in the upcoming elections.
In fact, the program was designed to use this assessment to tailor the election campaign accordingly.
So far, the party has found that its rural base is still strong and growing, as the government implements direct benefit transfer (DBT) schemes.
