Just predicted, not acted on behalf of any party: Lagadapati Rajagopal on survey

Lagadapati Rajagopal on Wednesday said that he did not act on behalf of any political parties on his poll predictions.

Speaking to media, Rajagopal said that he did not predict which party will win how many seats in the elections. He also said that he met KTR on September 15. "KTR has gathered details on my survey which predicted the victory of 10 rebel candidates," Lagadapati said. 

Rajagopal further continues to say that he did not predict the victory of TRS party in elections and also recalled the suggestion he made to KTR to change the candidates. 

He also said that KTR has asked the survey details in 23 assembly constituencies. Rajagopal also asserted that he told KTR about 37 candidates from Congress party will emerge victorious in the elections. 

"If I was anti-TRS, I would not have suggested KTR and give the survey details," he added. "I also suggested him not to arrest anyone before polls," he said. He said that he also cautioned KTR that if all opposition parties come together, it might turn difficult to TRS. "We still have 24 hours and we can change the survey," he said.

Rajagopal said that SCs and STs in the state have turned against TRS as the party failed to implement double bedroom house scheme, three acres of land and enhancement in ST reservation percentage.
