One section that is eagerly watching the campaign in Munugode is the bureaucracy of Telangana. The bureaucrats are interested in knowing about the trend in Munugode. They are said to be collecting information from the media and other sources about the mood of the voters in the constituency.
The bureaucrats feel that the outcome of the Munugode bypoll will set the trend for the 2018 assembly elections. They are of the opinion that a BJP victory means a weakened TRS and this could make the ruling party listen to their viewpoint. As of now, the bureaucrats feel stifled by the monopoly of the TRS.
However, some civil servants, who feel quite comfortable under the TRS government and got plum posts, feel that a defeat could actually pose problems for themselves. They will have to adjust to the reality of a resurgent BJP, which is becoming increasingly assertive in its approach. These officers feel that continuance of the TRS government would be to their advantage.
Several IAS officers are said to be in touch with mediapersons, who are covering the elections in Munugode. They are said to be collecting micro-level information about the situation on the ground and the factors that could influence the outcome in the by-elections. They are also reportedly in touch with several agencies that are working to assess the mood of the voter.
