PM Narendra Modi’s demonetisation gets “Thumbs Up” response in national opinion poll carried out by “Mood of the Nation” (MOTN) survey, giving PM messiah Modi 65% approval rate, up 15% against his arch rival, masquerading politician Rahul Gandhi’s 28%. This is highest ranking by any leader since introduction of the survey.
If elections were held now, BJP (NDA) will get thumping majority with 360 Lok Sabha Seats (LSS) against Congress (UPA) with 60, others 123, in grand total of 543 LSS. This is indeed admirable performance, BJP towering over opposition, considering that honeymoon period is long gone and now NDA entering midterm when most governing parties lose support.
PM Modi is by far the most popular leader, although other members of his cabinet, notably Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jetly lending PM Modi good support. NDA practically towers over opposition in all departments, including laying blame of disruption of parliament at the door of UPA. But BJP should not rest on their laurels, as some rightly feel crimes like rape and murder are not under control, BJP failing to introduce deterring punishments, including public flogging!
But election is at least two years away, as even a week is long time in politics. Forthcoming Assembly Elections in various States will give true picture rather than any opinion poll, which are notoriously inaccurate, volatile, as the results of Brexit and American Precedential Election bear witness.
