Lok Niti-CSDS, known for its accurate predictions on the political surveys, has declared that it has not conducted any survey on TDP, as claimed by the party and Telugu media.
A Few Telugu TV channels, backed by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has claimed that TDP is going to emerge as victorious in 2019 elections, with 126-135 assembly seats and 18-22 Lok Sabha seats. Not stopping there, the survey also revealed that YSRCP would gain 45-50 seats and 3-5 for Janasena.
The news stated that the survey revealed 46.2 voting share for TDP and 37.2 for YSRCP. The survey as claimed was conducted from March 11th to 19th. A total of 26764 people have participated in the survey, out of which 12029 were ladies. The opinions from all the age groups have been taken into consideration, the news stated.
As the news had gone viral all over the social media, Lok Niti-CSDS has responded to it, saying that no such survey has been conducted as claimed by TDP.
“Lokniti-CSDS has NOT done any survey in the State of Andhra Pradesh. What is being shared on social media is FAKE and complete rubbish!” it tweeted.
TDP and its media has performed a similar stunt with the help of Lagadapati Survey, in the recently held Telangana assembly elections and ended up facing massive debacle in the elections. Adding to it, the survey and the media which backed it, remained as a laughing stock on the social media. If the TDP and its media, continue fooling the public with such fake surveys, it would only remain as one more non-serious political party like KA Paul’s Praja Shanthi.
