Is it now going to be one-sided? Is there any chance for the YCP to give a good fight? What will be the transfer of women vote bank to the advantage of TDP? What will be the impact of the 1 crore DWCRA women beneficiaries of Rs 20,000 Pasupu Kumkuma benefit to each of them? Will these women groups hand over a tsunami-like victory for Chandrababu?
The general public and political circles are are very tense to answer such conflicting questions now. It’s believed that the present mood of voters will not change much on the polling day on April 11. There’s no scope for major issues to break the mood and change the voters’ preferences in the next one and half days. Then what’s the exact mood prevailing in different sections at this moment:
– TDP enjoys support from its traditional caste groups plus women’s groups plus neutral voters. This is due to welfare, development and sentiment.
– YCP gets traditional support from two castes but loses part of dalit vote to TDP and smaller fragments of it to Jana Sena, Bahujan Samaj Party and Praja Rajyam Party.
– Jana Sena has not emerged to cause multi-lateral contests in majority parts.
– KA Paul is mocked at as a comedy piece but he effectively conveyed what he wanted to convey to the people.
