Manugode Exit Poll!

The much-talked-about Manugode by-election is coming to an end very soon. The polling was completed today, and the only thing due now is the counting which is set to take place on the 6th of this month.

Atma Sakshi’s exit polls predict a clear win for TRS with 41-42% of the votes as BJP comes 2nd with 35-36% of the votes. People’s Pulse reports that TRS will win the pole with 44.4 vote share as BJP settles for 37.3%.

Trishul Consultancy anticipates a 47% vote share for TRS and 31.5% for BJP. 3rd Vision has taken an educated guess, saying TRS will sweep the polls with a 48-51 vote share while BJP will settle with 31-35%. Congress has been restricted to third place in all the exit poll surveys.

KA Paul is out of the race and perhaps not even in the picture, as many had anticipated already. All the exit polls suggest that Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy, who quit Congress to join BJP and later contest from Manugode again, will end up on the losing side.

Also, CM KCR had called for a press conference shortly after the polling and expressed confidence in TRS’s victory.
