With 2019 Lok Sabha elections looming ever larger, political scenario in country is currently in a state of flux, with parties desperately figuring out seat-sharing terms, snubbing or accepting each or with respect to alliances, or fielding ir big names in various states. Republic TV and CVoter are back with National Approval Ratings to give a complete national picture as to who will win if polls are held today. For Andaman and Nicobar Islands, it is a straight fight between BJP and Congress.

As per National Approval Ratings, BJP is predicted to gain solo seat same way party did in 2014 Lok Sabha polls:

Vote Share:

  • UPA: 40.1%
  • NDA: 47.5%

While BJP has been winning Andaman seat ever since 2009, INC last won seat in 2004 and its present projection of getting 40.1% of votes mean that Rahul Gandhi's party, in Andaman and Nicobar has consistently declined in terms of vote shares.

election year 2019 started off with India’s opposition appearing largely unwilling to acquiesce to Rahul Gandhi's proposal of Congress serving as a platform for regional parties to come toger in order to defeat BJP. Despite Congress successes in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, in Uttar Pradesh, much-heralded Mahagathbandhan turned out to just be a 'Gathbandhan' as old enemies Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati left Congress out, forming an SP-BSP alliance. Left on its own, Congress resolved to contest every one of state's 80 seats and proceeded to formally induct Priyanka Gandhi Vadra into party, appointing her and Jyotiraditya Scindia as General Secretaries for Uttar Pradesh. Elsewhere, former Gujarat CM Shankarsinh Vaghela is to join NCP, while Congress alliance with TDP in Andhra Pradesh is also in doubt. Meanwhile, BJP and Shiv Sena may have witnessed a thaw in ir relationship with Maharashtra government sanctioning Rs 100 crore for a Balasaheb Thackeray memorial. 

On issues concerning large numbers of people, government passed a constitutional amendment giving a green signal to provide 10 percent reservation in jobs and educational institutions to ecomically weaker sections in general category, while numerous agrarian schemes that needn't necessarily be farm-loan waivers have also been spoken of in lead-up to Modi government's final budget.
