Our Poll in Economic Times
The remaining 20 per cent seem to believe that the government has exceeded expectations, keeping the 'slide' in the past 10 years of UPA government. The poll was conducted among the 1,30,000 members of online community of 'Transform India with Modi' to gauge the public mood after 60 days of Modi government.
Thirty thousand members of the citizen-government engagement initiative responded to the poll. Launched by public policy expert Rajendra Pratap Gupta, a BJP member, the Local Circles community has members from various backgrounds like industry, employed professionals, investors, farmers, social activists, students, home makers, academicians, bureaucrats and senior citizens.
The communication cell of BJP is also associated with the community. Gupta was also incharge of penning down BJP's election manifesto on behalf of the manifesto committee led by Murli Manohar Joshi.
"Outstanding is the perfect word to describe the performance of the BJP led NDA government. If the elections are held today for four states (going to polls later this year), BJP on its own will win over 80 per cent of the seats" Gupta told ET.
In a bid to keep the government on its toes, the poll is likely to become a regular feature, borrowing from USA's system of President's approval rating. more
