Modi remains people`s PM : Survey |
Three out of five Indians are satisfied with Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s performance though a majority feels his government is sliding on checking prices, generating jobs and preventing crime, an online poll has found. May 16, 2017, marks three years of the BJP-led NDA storming to power at the Centre. The Modi government, in these years, either met or exceeded expectations of 61% of the people surveyed while 59% felt it was on track to fulfil pre-poll promises. More than 40,000 respondents in around 200 cities participated in the exercise conducted by the online citizen engagement platform. Modi`s political capital has largely remained intact even though his government has not done enough to create jobs, check inflation, improve healthcare and prevent crime against women and children. Of the missions the government has launched, direct benefit transfer got the highest approval (47%) and Make in India the lowest (8%). Modi`s signature Clean India campaign seems to fail to impress as 57% of the people responded in negative when asked if their cities were cleaner. The areas in which the Modi government scored high were foreign policy, especially vis-Ã -vis Pakistan, its handling communalism, infrastructure development and performance in Parliament in terms of delivery on key bills.
