No one close to Modi in race for Prime Minister, reveals survey


New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS): There is no one even close to Narendra Modi when it comes to the choice of Prime Minister of the country, according to a IANS-CVoter poll survey in Haryana and Maharashtra ahead of the October 21 Assembly polls there.

In Haryana, 71.6 per cent people surveyed said Modi is the best candidate to be the Prime Minister while in Maharashtra, 65 per cent of people opined so.

In fact, Modi is way ahead of everyone else, including Congress' interim President Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

In fact, only 7.6 per cent people in Haryana and 8.5 per cent in Maharashtra favoured Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister.

For Sonia Gandhi, it was worse, with only 0.9 per cent in Haryana and 1.2 per cent Maharashtra wanting her to be the Prime Minister.

In Haryana, 6.3 per cent of those surveyed between September 16 and October 16 favoured Manmohan Singh for the Prime Ministership. The figure in Maharashtra was 5.2 per cent.

Janata Dal-United supremo and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar got mere 0.4 per cent votes in Haryana and 0.2 per cent in Maharashtra for the top job.

Among other leaders, Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav was favoured for the PM's post by 0.1 per cent, Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee by 0.3 per cent, BSP chief Mayawati by 2.7 per cent and Aam Aadmi Party leader and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by 2.2 per cent in Haryana.

In Maharashtra, NCP leader Sharad Pawar was favoured for the Prime Ministership by 7.6 per cent of those asked, Mamata Banerjee by 0.3 per cent, Mayawati by 0.9 per cent and Kejriwal by 1.1 per cent.

Among BJP leaders, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was voted for by 0.3 per cent and Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari by 0.1 per cent.

Another aspect of the survey was the overwhelming majority feeling that the Assembly elections in these two states, slated for October 21, would be affected by the results of the Lok Sabha polls.

In Haryana, 64.7 per cent of the people surveyed said "yes" to this question and 64.4 per cent gave the same answer in Maharashtra, according to the pre-poll survey in these two states.

However, 28.7 per cent in Haryana and 30.5 per cent in Maharashtra believed that the Assembly elections would not be affected by the Lok Sabha polls. In Haryana, 6.6 per cent did not say either way while in Maharashtra, this figure was 5 per cent.

The sample size of the survey in Haryana was 10,061, while it was 19,489 in Maharashtra.

    What is PM Modi's achievements towards the poor? No doubt he is Master in bluffing and poor innocent Indian people accepting him as God and deliver Miracles. Whatever his schemes until now all failed and Ujwala which they are boasting is on the cost of middle class peoples.
    Really Mr.Modi played gamble with tax payers money, when there was huge decline in Fuel prices he never gave any benefit to the citizens. He is a crook, let him enjoy but one day will come BJP itself throw him as like Mr.ADVANI.
    The popularity of leaders will built by the citizens and within no time some one will become more popular than him within no time.

    You and I may not have been benefited by any of Modi’s schemes. But the fact is about 68 crores, especially the poor and the lower middle class, have directly or indirectly benefited from schemes like ujjwala yojana, jan dhan account, jeevan suraksha, ayushman bharat, electrification, toilets, etc. And all this has been possible with the active assistance and participation of the RSS in implementing various welfare schemes. Unfortunately the opposition parties lack the assistance of such organisations.

    "No one close to Modi in race for Prime Minister." I would add to it that no one can be close to him. He is a leader who is unique. He has only one ambition, one dream that is to make our motherland, if not the best, but at least at par with the developed nations. I have never seen a PM, rather a leader, who is so selfless and dedicated. I wish God to give him good health and strength to serve the nation. Jai Hind.

    Questions about PM Modiji, popularity can be ascertained, by the reactions, from Indians, living within n around the entire globe... His opponents, bitterly hate, spew venom, from dawn to dusk !!! Their predicament, is all due to frustration, despair n helplessness !!!! Even Pakistan, dreaded the return of PM Modiji !!!! They desired a weak, Congress n their cronies, back in 2019 election... The antinationals feeding on our soil, are surely worried about their plans of subversion n destruction of our Republic.... Abdullah's, Mufti 's, Azad and many more Mir Jafar's, (Traitors) Maoists, today, see a bleak future, their aspirations, are all snffed out, of reckoning !!! There is no alternative to Pm Modiji, on the horizon.... He will certainly be around for a long, time, giving stability, security and peace for our great nation.......

    Don’t be under the false illusion. If 80% are illiterates Indira Gandhi would not have lost in 1977 and come back again in 1980.

    Do you mean to say PMs like Rajiv Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee and MMS were elected by illiterates?

    People of the country are intelligent enough to know whom to vote and when. The fact is once there was Indira wave and now it’s Modi wave. Just as we see today, Indira Gandhi too had her shortcomings and her quota of haters.

    After he became prime minister, he demonitized , later many people lost their job , economy is down. Lakhs of people are loosing their job. Once upon a time I was a modi fan then after he did all this i lost the trust. Instead of making the economy proper he is roaming to America and in other countries. During our old PM DR. Singh there were no such issues

    The findings of the NSSO survey report, which is now in the public domain, reveal that the 2017-18 unemployment rate at 6.1% is at a 45-year high. For a government that came to power on the back of a promise to create two crore jobs, that is a lot of egg on its face.

    Recently RBI (Reserve Bank of India) survey exposes the Modi government's 'Dhol Ki Poll',". Modi government has been exposed as 72.8% of people said income increased by 0% and 79.2% said inflation has crushed them.
    In India, BJP supporters are more likely than others to share fake news. In fact, the researchers found that up to 30 accounts in the pro-BJP cluster had been the original sources of at least one piece of fake news. Modi followed 15 of them.
    Remember manipulated image that caught everyone's fancy around elections was this black and white "rare" photo of Modi "sweeping floor in 1988 during RSS rally".

    What modiji achieved in life not from one day. He devouted whole life towards nation by sacrificing each and everything. Moreover he observed discipline in life and choosen path to be in the line of honesty. He never do anything to show to others. For that reason blessings automatically pour on him from time to time. Otherwise how he can able to handle system...single handedly in midst of wolves.

Nation is going on right path. Only corrupt people are unhappy due to not able to mint money in wrong way. People all over in the world wants to apply modi model in there country even our arch rival pakistan. Ab 14.5 plus 2.5% ko kaun samjayega. Humhare bus ki baat nahin.
