A pre-poll survey conducted by a private research organisation in Karnataka has revealed that the Congress will emerge as the single largest party and also secure a majority by winning 120-132 seats if Assembly polls were to be held today.
The survey conducted by C fore was posted on the organisation’s website on Sunday and also did the rounds in Whatsapp groups created by the Chief Minister’s Media Cell. The survey places the BJP in the second place (60-72 seats) followed by the JD(S) (24-30) seats) and others (1-6 seats). The magic number to secure majority is 113 in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly.
C fore has claimed that as many as 24,679 voters were interviewed from 165 Assembly constituencies covering all districts between July 19 and August 10. The survey also places Anna Bhagya scheme as the post popular programme of the state government (79%) and Siddaramaiah as the post popular chief minister in the recent past (46%).
