ABP News-CVoter Survey: BJP-Led NDA Expected To Sweep Andhra Pradesh In Lok Sabha Polls, Get 46.7% Of Votes

With a total of 25 Lok Sabha seats up for grabs, Andhra Pradesh holds considerable sway in the electoral landscape. In order to guage the mood of the state, ABP News and CVoter conducted an opinion poll, which predicted a massive seat share for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and its allies in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

NDA allies Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Jana Sena Party (JSP) are expected to secure a total of 15 seats while the BJP is expected to secure just 5 seats. The rest of the 5 seats are likely to be won by the Yuvajana Shramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP).

The Congress UPA and the I.N.D.I.A. bloc appear to be failing in the state as according to the survey, it is not expected to secure even one seat.

On the basis of the findings of the ABP-CVoter Opinion poll, it is expected that the NDA will secure a substantial 46.7 per cent share of the vote, closely followed by the YSR Congress, which is anticipated to garner 39.9 per cent of the vote share.

So far, the TDP-BJP-Janasena alliance has revealed its electoral strategy. Naidu revealed that the TDP will be contesting on 17 seats with BJP and Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena contesting six and two seats respectively in the state.

A number of significant developments have happened ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. One of the biggest developments was about YS Sharmila, sister of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, announcing the merger of Congress with YSR Telangana Party. The former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N Chandrababu Naidu, also recently walked out of Rajamahendravaram Central Jail on the basis of health grounds after being under arrest for 53 days in connection with the multi-crore skill development corporation scam case.

The 2019 Lok Sabha elections saw YSRCP achieving a massive victory by securing 22 out of 25 seats, while TDP only managed to secure three seats. Interestingly, neither BJP nor Congress managed to leave a mark in the state, underscoring the electorate’s inclination towards regional parties.
