Did Chandrababu Naidu & his party win some hearts with the Babli Episode ?

Did the Babli episode help TDP gain Political mileage ?

Here is what the online community has to say…

Disclaimer

This report is solely prepared on the reactions of the people online on the Babli Dam issue and we as a company have no bias towards any Political party nor we have any political interests in releasing this report.

This is just a small experiment to see whether online reactions would be any indication of the final results that are going to be released tomorrow by the election commission

The Story • On the 19th of July Chandrababu Naidu went on a Bus

Yatra to inspect the Babli Dam which according to him is illegal and its construction would affect many farmers in the Telangana Region

• Chandrababu and the MLA’s who went along with him were arrested and were not allowed to see the Babli site.

• Other Political parties in the state criticized it to be a cheap trick to gain political mileage before the Telangana By- elections

• Now let us see what the Aam Aadmi (Common Man) has to say about this issue.

19th and 20th July 2010

21st July – The Day when NCB & co didn’t agree to take bail

The number of negative reactions suddenly jumped up from 8% to 38% and people were of the opinion that NCB should have waited for the SC judgment and he shouldn’t make this into a big issue before elections

22nd July – The day when all the charges were removed and NCB & co were sent back home

People had mixed reactions on this day, TDP gained some sympathy for the way they were treated in Maharastra and at the same time people were angry about the fact that a lot of public money was being spent on this issue.

The Overall Picture

TDP couldn’t gain the support of the online community atleast, Whether the people of Telangana fell for it ? We will know that in a couple of hours when the results will be out

The Overall Picture (Only Reactions from AP)

The scenario doesn’t change much

Conclusion

• These results that we have published might not speak much about the reality because these reactions are just limited to peoples opinion online. (and the number of internet savvy people is actually very low as we all know)

• As mentioned earlier we have published this only to see if online reactions are anywhere close to the reality. Now lets wait for the results and see if TDP got any Mileage …
