It considered the reports of surveys conducted by independent
agencies in the four states. Mr. Mahajan is also understood to have

where the individual BJP MPs are facing anti-incumbency factor and
the constituencies where this factor could be rectified
In constituencies where situation was beyond rectification, the
party might choose not to renominate them. Sources believe that this
figure might range from 30 to 35 MPs in the dissolved Lok Sabha.
