Conducting a opinion poll survey in Udhampur Lok Sabha Seat. Going totally on different side this seat seems to be multi-cornered and have many factors to decide the winner.
The Udhampur LS seat is spread over 17 Assembly segments in six districts - Kishtwar, Doda, Ramban, Reasi, Udhampur and Kathua. There are 16,85,779 registered voters in the constituency, including 8,76,319 men, 7,89,105 women, 20,312 service voters and 43 transgender electors. Total 12 candidates including BJP’s Jitendra Singh and Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh are contesting for Udhampur-Doda parliamentary constituency in Jammu and Kashmir which goes to polls on April 18.
Jitendra Singh, a powerful minister in Narendra Modi government will have a direct contest with Vikramaditya, son of congress Stewart Karan Singh.
In 2014 also it was a close contest between Congress and BJP when BJP candidate Jitendra Singh defeated Senior congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad. In 2014 the muslim votes were divided among congress and PDP where as hindu votes were casted maximum on one side i.e BJP which made Dr. Jitendra winner. This time the situation reverses as their is major threat of divison of hindu votes where as congress candidate who is getting support of both PDP and NC will get majority of muslim votes among the 17 assembly constituencies of this parliamentary seat.
Last year when Kathua was burning because of Asifa murder case there was huge resentment in public in Kathua and other districs against BJP leaders who failed to get CBI probe into that case. That resentment can be still noticed in Rassana, Kuta and other near by villages because as per public of that area still a dozens of inoccent people from Kathua are still in Jail in that case. Public of these villages consider the BJP leaders responsible for this who failed to get CBI probe in this case. Hence this resentment can also cause loss of votes to BJP in Kathua District.
Where as camping of Karan Singh and Gulam Nabi Azad in Udhampur Parliament seat is a major booster for congress candidate as Dr. Karan Singh who is campaigning in Reasi and Udhampur District has good impact in both districts especially in Rajput Community while Gulam Nabi Azad have taken charge of chenab valley and nearby area where he is really very strong and can easily consolidate maximum votes for Congress candidate.
On the other hand, Harsh Dev Singh of J&K National Panthers Party and Lal Singh of recently floated ‘Dogra Swabhiman Sangathan’ who are also contesting from Udhampur, would play spoilsport and dent the Hindu vote bank in Kathua and Udhampur districts.
Considering all these factors our poll survey predicts that congress can manage to win this parliament seat with margin of 80,000-1 Lakh votes.
