Lagadapati Rajagopal who predicted the victory of Mahakutami in the 2018 Assembly Polls received a bitter shock with the landslide win of TRS. He was at the receiving end following the announcement of election results as punters lost crores trusting him blindly. Political Parties and Public slammed him for trying to influence the results by predicting the victory of Mahakutami prior to the polling.
At the press meet held in New Delhi Today, Lagadapati Rajagopal cried foul over losing his reputation because of the allegations made by the TRS Leaders. He claims to be having his own doubts over the results of Telangana Assembly Polls. 'Why EC took one-and-a-half day to announce actual voting percentage? Votes were polled in huge number after 5 pm. Though many candidates sought counting of VVPAT Slips, Election Commission didn't bother to pay heed to the appeals. It's the responsibility of EC and State Govt to clear the doubts by counting the VVPAT Slips. I had already revealed that money played a crucial role in the Telangana Polls. Knew why the Independents I had announced prior to the polling faced defeat. Will disclose the details after the Lok Sabha Polls,' he assured.
After making a self-goal with wrong prediction, Andhra Octopus made up his mind not to reveal election results prior to the polling date again. He will be disclosing the prediction for AP Assembly and Lok Sabha Polls only after the polling gets completed.
Lagadapati opined Opposition gained strength by the time of Panchayat Polls and that is why TRS couldn't attain clean sweep. He claimed to be remaining firm on the decision to stay away from active politics post bifurcation.
