These elections are being looked as the final barometer for both BJP and Congress before final battle of Lok Sabha 2019.

Main Findings of the survey

  • BJP is expected to lose to Congress in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
  • Congress is set to replace BJP in MP and Rajasthan with huge margin.
  • People are willing for a change in the State but not at the Centre. As BJP still has a comfortable lead over Congress in all these three states according to the opinion poll.

Madhya Pradesh

Incumbent Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chauhan is set to face a humiliating defeat against Congress in upcoming elections according to the survey conducted by ABP News and C Voter.

BJP who had bagged 165 seats out of total 230 in 2013 Assembly Elections is not expected to lose 59 seats to reach a tally of 106 according to the survey.

BJP’s major loss is coming from Baghelkhand, Chambal and Mahakaushal regions. BJP is being swept clean in Chambal region where Congress is expected to win 31 seats. BJP is looking strong in Bhopal, Malwa and Nimar but these regions are not able to fulfil BJP’s overall loss.

BJP’s loss is Congress’s gain. Congress is expected to rise above majority mark with 117 seats gaining 59 seats from last election’s performance of 58 seats. Congress is getting maximum seats from Baghelkhand and Chambal, total 71 from these two regions.

Respondents spread across 29 Loksabha Seats and 230 Vidhan Sabha Seats from 28 June to 10th August

 

Rajasthan

People of Rajasthan are once again expected to turn the tables of power in Rajasthan. Vasundhara Raje may not repeat the landslide victory BJP had in 2013 Assemble Elections. On the contrary BJP may have to face a defeat almost as similar as it forced on Congress in 2013 Vidhan Sabha Elections.

According to the survey BJP who had won 163 seats out of total 200 in Rajasthan Assembly Elections in 2013 may not get ousted from power with only 57 seats in their kitty.

Congress which was clearly swept out of the power by BJP in 2013 is set to make a thumping comeback with 130 seats out of total 200.

Interestingly Congress is throwing out BJP from almost all four regions of the state. According to the survey Mewar and Harouti are two regions which are laying foundation for landslide victory of Congress in the state.
