Narendra Modi Top Choice for Prime Minister's Position: Survey

Thirty Six percent Indian eligible voters are of the opinion that BJP will assume power after the next general election, this trend though is limited to urban India but can result into a built up in rural India too. Support for BJP’s candidature in the next General Election was particularly strong in Lucknow (56 percent), Chennai (46 percent), Kolkata (43 percent) and Delhi (41 percent). Sentiment against BJP’s candidature was particularly high in Mumbai (92 percent) and Bangalore (77 percent).

Indian citizen are unsure if a ‘Third Front’ that may emerge has a chance to form the next government. About four out of ten (39 percent) respondents said yes, an equal number 39 percent said no and 22 percent are absolutely undecided.

Rahul Varma, Executive Director, Ipsos MediaCT & Public Affairs said, “though we are far away from the general elections but if we add the percentage figures of people who said yes and people who are unsure and compare this against similar question asked for Congress and BJP, it’s a tie between 3rd Front (which looks to be a difficult proposition to be formed) and BJP (who may not garner enough support from secular parties), possibly set up a ground for a very dynamic coalition politics in coming elections to hold a stable government. Though this sample may not be representative of India but do project some indications of coming times.”
