India Today has been pro BJP for quite some time now. Meanwhile, consider this:

The CNN-IBN-CSDS survey this week projected the BJP bagging 61-71 seats in the 90-member assembly in the election to be held later this month (November 11 and 19). It pinned the Congress tally to between 16-24 seats. Curiously, the survey did not seem to please BJP functionaries in the state. A glum Naresh Gupta, who heads the BJP’s legal cell (elections), asserted that such surveys with over-the-top projections actually only tend to damage the party’s prospects. “While party workers are left euphoric and engage in premature celebrations, Congress workers will work harder,” he explained. Retired bureaucrat and astute state observer Dr Sushil Kumar Trivedi, asked for his reaction, wryly says, “Achchi kahaani hai.”

A mere 2% votes separated the BJP and Congress in ’08. And nothing since warrants a swing in the former’s favour.

BJP functionaries are wary because pre-poll surveys aired by the same channel before elections in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh had indicated a clear win for the party there too. “But we lost both the states,” recalls Gupta, explaining why the new findings are being taken with a pinch of salt. A mere two per cent of the votes separated the BJP from the Congress in 2008. Nothing since then has happened to warrant a wild swing in their favour, admit party leaders in the state. True, the party is banking on the track record of chief minister Raman Singh and a possible ‘wave’ to be generated by the party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. But in many ways, the pre-election scene this year is substantially different from last time. And within the state, all bets are off.

By the same token outlook is a rabid anti bjp site. I am merely stating different polls show different results. but none of them give a rosy projection for congress.

Are you pro BJP or pro Congress?

You should just ignore it. CONmen don't like such surveys.
