In less than a week after the advertisement row highlighting a survey by a TV channel showing Chief Minister Eknath Shinde ahead of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in popularity, a new survey has come out with Fadnavis topping the CM’s league with 35 per cent votes and Shinde at number four.
The advertisement last week projected Shinde as the next chief minister and showed the Sena leader as a more preferred candidate than Fadnavis for the top job.
The survey that came out Monday, conducted by News Arena India, shows Fadnavis as the most popular CM, followed by Congress leader Ashok Chavan and NCP leader Ajit Pawar with 21 per cent votes each, while Eknath Shinde is shown with just 12 per cent and Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray with nine per cent.
According to the News Arena India survey, the BJP will emerge the single largest party with 125 to 129 seats out of 288 seats in the 2024 Assembly elections, while its alliance partner Shiv Sena led by Shinde will be restricted to just 25 seats.
It also show that Congress would improve its tally with 50 to 53 seats, while NCP would get 55 to 56 seats and the Shiv Sena (UBT) 17 to 19 seats. It says smaller parties/independents together will get 12 seats and Congress would get only 28 seats without the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance.
