PM Manmohan and Super PM Sonia Gandhi look at snap poll in India after CNN-IBN poll predicts massive UPA win in India.
The Left parties, which had secured 55 seats in the previous elections, will see a decline in their tally to 43, while NDA will have to be content with 133 seats as against 189 in the last poll, according to the poll conducted by Center for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) for CNN-IBN in association with The Indian Express.
The survey said the projected UPA tally of 267 was a decline from the 300 seats they had predicted for the ruling alliance in an opinion poll conducted in January this year.
The NDA will improve its performance from the 115 seats predicted for it in January to 133 in the event of snap polls, they said.
According to the poll, BSP will win 35 seats as against the 18 it has in the present House.
While NDA allies were found to be holding firm in the states they currently rule (Orissa, Bihar and Punjab), BJP could be slipping significantly in the states where it was in power, the opinion poll said.
