Telangana Opinion Poll 2023: A BRS-Congress Faceoff In KCR-Ruled State? Know Survey Findings

ABP CVoter Survey 2023: According to the latest opinion poll, the assembly election in Telangana appears to be a tough contest between the ruling BRS and the Congress.

Telangana ABP CVoter Opinion Poll 2023: The Election Commission of India on Monday announced the dates of elections in five states, including Telangana. The southern state will vote on November 30 and the counting will be done on December 3, along with the other four states - Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Mizoram. ABP and CVoter reached out to the voters to assess the mood who are preparing to exercise their franchise in Telangana.

According to the CVoter opinion poll, it is a tough contest between Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Congress. The BRS can secure 43 to 55 seats, while the Congress is expected to win 48 to 60 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah leading its campaign, is projected to win only 5 to 11 seats.

According to the ABP-CVoter opinion poll, the Congress can gain nearly 39% vote share in a significant upswing of 10.5%, followed by the ruling BRS at 37% in a decline of 9.4% vote share. The BJP is also projected to secure 16% of votes, an increase of 9.3% of votes.

Telangana is primarily heading towards a tri-corner battler with ruling BRS eyeing another term, and Congress seeking to wrest CM K Chandrashekhar Rao. The BJP is aiming to form the government in a bid to hold some grip on the southern part of the country ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.

In the elections held in 2018, BRS (then TRS- Telangana Rashtra Samiti) won 88 seats out of 119 and emerged as the single-largest party while Congress was a distant second with 19. BJP, which contested on 117 constituencies, won only one.
