No hope for NDA and Chandy, Kerala going for Left, says IMEG poll survey Against the wish of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kerala is thinking of electing CPIM-led LDF dumping both Oommen Chandy's developmental agenda and and the BJP's communal agenda, indicates pre-poll survey conducted by IMEG, Institute for Monitoring Economic Growth based in Thiruvananthapuram. Ranjai Singh Thiruvananthapuram, May 9, 2016 | UPDATED 19:24 IST Oommen Chandy It seems that history is going to repeat once again in Kerala poll. Against the wish of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kerala is thinking of electing CPIM led LDF dumping both Oommen Chandy's developmental agenda and Modi's development agenda, indicates pre-poll survey conducted by IMEG, Institute for Monitoring Economic Growth based in Thiruvananthapuram. IMEG, a collective of statisticians, headed by A Meera sahib, former Director of Statistical Department claims that LDF may get 83-90 seats in the 2016 Assembly poll while Congress led UDF play the loser with 50 to 57 seats. BJP-led NDA may not open account in the Assembly. The survey conducted among 60000 voters from South, Central and North regions of the state from April 20 to May 6 assures that NDA would increase its vote share as the Front is contesting in all 140 constituencies of the state. "Much against to the claims of BJP, only in four constituencies, tri-polar contest is witnessed. Nemom , Vatiyurkavu , Manjeshwaram and Kasargod are the constituencies where BJP is positioned as a formidable force. But in other constituencies, BJP candidates decide the winner as Congress going to be a loser in such constituencies," explained A. Meerasahib, who headed the survey team. According to him, the survey found that Ezhava led BJDS is not going to help BJP politically in Kerala as majority of the voters question the political relevance of such tie ups. "In North and South, LDF has an edge and in Central , UDF may retain its seats. In Malabar, Jamaet led Welfare Party and Popular Front of India's political outfit SDPI may ruin the chances of UDF. There is a subtle shift from Congress vote bank to NDA. But such shift is not evident from Ezhava cadres of CPIM to BJDS," Meera Sahib told India Today. According to the survey, UDF may lose almost seven seats due to rebel candidates. Survey pointed out that corruption is the major issue discussed during the poll campaign and National leaders visit or their campaigns have not influenced the voters decisions any manner. "Most of the voters opinioned that Chandy government's last minute controversial decisions influenced them to shun the UDF government and liquor ban is not a major issue. 60 per cent of the people participated in the survey pointed out that the decisions taken by Chandy government before announcing the date of the election were not right and unethical, the pre poll survey said. 63 per cent of the participants believe that Chandy government is involved in solar scam. Only 51 per cent of the participants feel that LDF dons in the role of people friendly policies. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
