National Approval Ratings: In Arunachal Pradesh, NDA likely to gain both the seats leaving UPA at zero

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

For the state of Arunachal Pradesh, there are two seats up for grabs. Here's the projection for the state:

The National Approval rating projects that the NDA will grab both the seats leaving UPA with nothing but zero in Arunachal Pradesh.

Seat Share:

• UPA: 0 seats
• NDA: 2 seats

The National Approval rating projects that the NDA will gather 45.3% vote share whereas UPA will lag behind with 37.6% vote share. 

Vote Share:

• UPA: 37.6%
• NDA: 45.3%
• Others: 17.1%

In December edition, NDA was projected to sweep Arunachal Pradesh by gaining both the seats, however, it reflected a reduction of 3.1% in its vote share from November 2018 to December 2018.

In November edition, NDA was projected to sweep Arunachal Pradesh by gaining the two seats, while Congress was left with zero seats out of the two seats. However, vote share predictions showed a different picture projecting NDA to get 51.7% votes and UPA to get 40.4% votes.

Similarly, in October edition for Arunachal Pradesh, NDA projected to gain both the seats leaving the Congress-led UPA with zero-seat share. Talking about the vote share predictions, NDA was projected to 45.4% votes while UPA wast to get 40.3% votes.

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

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