Describing the recently released election survey by a private agency, Aara, as a sponsored unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), AICC secretary Sampath Kumar said the discrepancies in the survey exposed the hollowness and the intention of the survey team.
At a press conference here, he wondered how come Congress which was supposed to have strong leaders in 55 constituencies was getting 23% votes and BJP which had strong leaders in 26 constituencies got 33% votes. “When I confronted the poll agency owner Mastan on this and other contents and the details of by whom and how the survey was conducted he was just silent thus exposing himself,” he lamented. “Let him make public those details, the sample size and the people involved in the survey,” he challenged.
