If elections were held today, would Modi have become PM? Congress would have won 106 seats, says survey

NEW DELHI: The NDA government was formed in the country under the leadership of Narendra Modi for the third time in the general elections held in the country in various stages this year. Despite working towards a huge target of 400 seats, the BJP did not get an absolute majority this time like in the previous elections. With the support of various NDA parties, Modi became the Prime Minister this time with 293 seats. With 234 seats, the opposition parties presented a strong fight.

After months, a survey was organized to know the opinion of the people about the Modi government and what would the result be if the Lok Sabha elections were held now. This is a biannual survey conducted by India Today. In the survey conducted with C voters, the credibility of Prime Minister Modi and NDA has increased a bit. However, number of seats of the opposition parties has reduced to 233.

In this 'Mood of the Nation' survey, the NDA alliance will increase by six seats to 299 seats. People's answer to the question of who will be the next prime minister was also interesting. 49 percent said Narendra Modi's name. 22.4 percent said Rahul Gandhi would be the next Prime Minister.

Modi's voter turnout has fallen by six points. However, Rahul has eight points more than what he recorded in the month of February. The survey was conducted from July 15 to August 10. A total of 40591 people from 543 constituencies were interviewed. A total of 95,872 people were interviewed through C Voter's weekly regular tracker.

After 10 years, the Congress won 99 seats with an increase of 47 seats and got an opposition leader this time. According to the survey, BJP's voting percentage will decrease from 37.7 to 36.56 percent and NDA will get a total of 43.7 percent votes. If the Lok Sabha elections were held now, the survey gives Congress 106 seats and their vote percentage will increase to 25.4.
