In the wake of the Lok Sabha elections, the Bellary constituency remains abuzz with speculation over the outcome, with both the BJP and Congress confident of victory. Despite the high turnout, neither party appears overly concerned about who might benefit most from it.
According to BJP spokesperson Ashok Jeere, their party is banking on strong support from youth, women, and the educated populace.
Meanwhile, Congress representatives like Ramakrishna Nimbagal express optimism, citing internal surveys and ground-level feedback predicting a victory margin of 1.60 lakh votes.
The presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign speech on April 28 looms large in discussions, with many attributing BJP’s momentum to his influence. Observers note substantial support for BJP in western assembly constituencies, particularly in areas like Kompli and rural Sandur.
For BJP, the calculations seem to indicate a smooth victory for their candidate B. Sreeramulu. However, Ramakrishna from Congress asserts that concerted party efforts, including strategic collaborations and information security measures, bolster their chances.
With the election results still pending, anticipation grows among voters, amidst speculation and even betting activities regarding the eventual outcome says party leader.
