The fact-check came in response to the claims made by Supriya Shrinate on X on 27th November. In a post, Shrinate wrote, “NDTV Poll of Polls confirms what we see on the ground in Telangana. Congress is all set to record a historic win!” She then threw some random numbers titled “poll of polls”.
The voting for the Telangana Assembly Elections is scheduled for 30th November. The results will be announced on 3rd December with four other states that are Mizoram, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhatisgarh.
