Andhra Octopus Lagadapati Rajagopal who was once known for his accurate surveys made two blunders on a trot. He predicted Congress and allies win in the Telangana Elections which were held in December the last year and TRS won the election by a huge margin. Lagadapati came back for Andhra Pradesh Elections.
He predicted a comfortable victory for TDP, but the party is reduced to its worst-ever defeat in the history while YSR Congress registered a remarkable win managing 151 seats out of the total 175 seats in AP Assembly and 22 Parliament Seats. Lagadapati has taken the responsibility and sent in a Press Note that he is not going to do surveys any further.
On the other side, A man in Undrajavaram of West Godavari committed suicide as the TDP he placed his bets on lost in the AP polls. K Veeraju of TDP reportedly relied on a survey report of a former AP politician. As he had to pay someone 12 lakh for losing in the betting, he committed suicide. Lagadapati could not face the media with the guilt and just released a Press Meet.
