HYDERABAD, February 4: Growing increasingly anxious about his party's poll prospects, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has ordered a survey of voting patterns in the state.The three-stage survey, which is being conducted by an independent professional agency is about to finish the second round. While the first stage concentrated on people's response to the performance of the Naidu government, the second dealt with the Sonia factor. The final round will take the BJP impact into consideration. "As the survey has a massive sample group of over three lakh voters, it is reliable," said a TDP leader.
