• Kharge alleged the survey agency is linked to the PMO and not state-sanctioned, asking, 'What do you expect?'
• BJP used the survey to criticize Rahul Gandhi's past EVM claims, calling him a 'leader of propaganda.'
• Kharge countered by raising 'vote theft' claims in Kalaburagi and Aland, linking them to BJP and EC.
