According to a survey of RSS, the situation of current BJP legislators is not good in their constituency and people are angry with most BJP MLAs and they may have to face defeat. The leaders of Congress state level expecting on this basis and trying their best to get maximum ticket for their supporters so that if the Congress wins, the majority of their supporters will get the benefit while deciding the Chief Minister.

If these leaders would not do this and oppose the Congress candidate internally in the election rather than supporting, then once again the BJP's victory is certain. Well, let’s see after losing three consecutive assembly elections, what have the leaders of the Congress learned after all?
