BJP commissions secret survey of all wards in Mumbai to assess its best chance of winning
- by Webdesk
- 12 Oct 2016
The BJP seems to be headstrong and is leaving no stone untouched so as to ensure its victory in the upcoming BMC Elections in February 2017. The party has roped in third party auditors to carry out polls or surveys at each ward to assess its best chances of winning because it plans to contest all the 227 seats, if it goes solo.
The BJP is at a distinct disadvantage without the Sena’s grassroots reach, particularly because it will be contesting from many of the wards for the first time and simply because it doesn’t have the same local presence. Several candidates are also likely to be first-timers. “This time, the party will also try to field more young candidates, so that in the future, the same people have a better chance of contesting again,” said a BJP leader in the BMC.
The survey, which the party is getting conducted from third party auditors, will be much like a popularity poll, wherein experts will attempt to determine which candidate is more likely to win the most votes from a particular area. Candidates will only get tickets if the report recommends them as the best bet for the party.
