A survey conducted by India TV-CNX clearly indicates that the BJP may make a clean sweep of all 26 LS seats in Gujarat, and the BJP-led NDA may win most of the LS seats in Bihar and Maharashtra, if Lok Sabha polls are held now.
According to the survey conducted between 1st and 14th November in these three states, if there is a pre-poll alliance between BJP and Shiv Sena on one hand, and the Congress and NCP on the other in Maharashtra, the NDA can win 38 out of 48 LS seats, while the Congress-NCP alliance may only win ten seats.
The survey says, if there is no alliance in Maharashtra from either side, the field may be clear for BJP. According to the survey, in that situation, BJP may win 30 seats, Shiv Sena 8, Congress and NCP five each.
