YCP Media’s Sudden U Turn On Surveys

India Today’s Mood of The Nation Survey removed the fizz out of YSR Congress. The survey predicted that TDP and Janasena could win 18-19 seats while BJP would win 1-3.

YSR Congress is projected at winning just four to five which is nowhere near even a slightly improved performance when compared to its 2024 performance.

This has come as a huge roadblock to YSR Congress which is trying to create an impression that there is severe anti-incumbency against the Government.

The YCP Media started writing stories about how it is very premature to conduct surveys in Andhra Pradesh and how National Media Channels thrive on the money given by the State Governments.

If India Today’s Survey is premature, why is the same Jagan’s Media celebrating some unknown IITians Group Survey which predicted YSR Congress’s victory only the last week?

If National Media Channels thrive on the funding of the Governments, they would not publish anti-incumbency against the BJP in the same Survey.

Chandrababu Naidu would definitely not commission a survey that says BJP is losing seats in Andhra Pradesh as the Saffron Party’s Top Leadership would definitely know that and would get hurt.

The fact is that India Today’s Survey is definitely better than the so-called nameless Surveys. Having said that the upcoming Local Body election results would give us even better idea.
