"We are having very hopeful picture for the BJP, as 53 to 57 per cent of people are willing to bring the change in the state power," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said in Mumbai on Thursday.

The survey was carried in 100 prominent constituencies of 288, across the state and 1,000 people in each constituency were interviewed for the same, Javadekar said.

"About 45 to 50 per cent of people have blamed Congress-NCP government for increasing price rise and we are going to make an agenda in campaigns against the Government," he said.

Javadekar also said that after first round of campaign the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance is confident to win 160 seats.

Criticising NCP chief Sharad Pawar's assurance to make the state load-shedding free in just two years, he said "its utter rubbish. They aren't considering the ground realities."

"How can Pawar assure to make Maharashtra load-shedding free, when the NCP could not do it in past 10 years, holding the charge of the Energy Ministry," he said.
