An opinion poll for Telangana in which Congress is miles ahead of the incumbent BRS had gone viral. The figures are ascribed to a ‘poll of polls’ survey by a news channel. Sharing the numbers, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate tweeted, “This confirms what we are seeing on the ground in Telangana.” AltNews found that the polls, which predicted a landslide victory for Congress in Telangana, are not genuine. The news channel refuted claims stating that they did not carry opinion polls for Telangana elections.
