Chandrababu's Survey Mechanism Flawed

Chandrababu's Survey Mechanism Flawed

Mirchi 9 1 year ago

The other day, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had a meeting with the MLAs and MLCs of the Telugu Desam Party and discussed various issues including the review on the performance in the first four months.

Jagan's Shares Battle: The Real Story Is Different?

During his speech, Chandrababu mentioned that he is continuously monitoring the feedback about the party MLAs using IVRS.

IVRS is an Interactive Voice Response System. In simple language, the party will employ agencies to call the voters and take feedback about an issue or some leader.

But then, this IVRS Feedback mechanism is highly flawed and the margin of error in such a system is humungous.

People are often hesitant to give correct feedback about the ruling party and the local MLAs fearing Vendetta.

We have seen the silent wave against Jagan Mohan Reddy in the recent election for the same reason.

So, it is often very difficult for the Ruling Parties to collect Feedback and IVRS is the worst mechanism.

If there is a person collecting the feedback, he will spend some time with the voter and collect the information intelligently.

Even that happens only when the surveyor and the agency are effective.

This is not the case with IVRS. People press a random option and mostly give 'Excellent or Good'.

The calls come at odd times. People are only focused on giving some options without even listening. Also, the options - Excellent and Good are at the start and they press those options and cut the calls.

Also, there is no information about the age group, gender, caste, religion, and other demographs in IVRS which is very important in the right sampling.

IVRS can only be conducted along with other Survey systems to obtain the right results. Even in such a case, IVRS carries very low weightage.

The TDP Surveys between 2014 and 2019 were mostly through IVRS and that caused wrong feedback and massive damage to the party in the 2019 elections.

Chandrababu Naidu should drop this immediately for the own good of the party.
