Actually, every party has its own election strategists and election management people. Everyone has a survey team, but no team creates as much noise as the Congress does. The reason for this is that those who make campaign strategies for the party or conduct surveys etc. start considering themselves at the top. He does his own publicity and creates a message among the public that Congress has won because of him. Like Sunil Kanugolu worked in Karnataka. Conducted surveys etc. and played a role in selecting the candidates. After that there was such an uproar as if Congress had won because of Kanugolu. He was hurriedly appointed advisor to the Chief Minister and got the status of Cabinet Minister. But what happened after that?
After that Sunil Kanugolu failed everywhere. His alleged magic did not work in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The biggest failure was in Haryana, where candidates were decided on the basis of their survey and in many seats their candidate got less votes than the rebel Congress candidate. Think, victory and defeat have their place, the candidate to whom Congress gave the ticket on his advice got less votes than the rebel Congress candidate, then what was the point of the survey? It is being said that Sunil Kanugolu did not conduct any ground survey. In his survey, he put forward only the preferred candidates of the party’s Organization General Secretary KC Venugopal. His only aim was to please Venugopal and in this attempt, wrong candidates managed to get tickets at many places. If we look at BJP in comparison to Congress, all its strategists, managers and surveyors work behind the scenes and no one’s name is raised.
