New Delhi, March 29 (). According to the special opinion poll conducted by ABP-CVoter in Karnataka, there is a strong anti-incumbency wave against the BJP government led by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
As per the survey, as many as 57 per cent respondents said that they are upset and want the state government to change. Corruption has emerged as the third biggest issue after unemployment and infrastructure in the poll-bound state. According to the ABP-CVoter survey, 50.5 per cent respondents rated the performance of the BJP government as poor. In contrast, only 27.7 percent rated it as good and another 21.8 percent rated the performance as average.
ABP-CVoter had conducted a similar opinion poll in Gujarat ahead of the assembly elections in late 2022, in which around 42 per cent voters rated the BJP government’s performance as good while 32 per cent rated it as poor. Even in Himachal Pradesh, where the BJP lost power to the Congress, 38.6 percent of likely voters rated the state government’s performance as good and 36.4 percent rated it as poor.
The ABP-CVoter survey interacted with 25,000 respondents in Karnataka. There is more bad news for BJP in this survey. When it comes to the Chief Minister, 46.9 per cent of the likely voters rated the performance of the incumbent Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai as poor, while only 26.8 per cent rated his performance as good.
In the same survey, a significantly higher proportion (39.1 percent) chose Congress leader Siddaramaiah as the next chief minister, while 31.1 percent chose Bommai. The anti-incumbency wave against the BJP government seems to have had the least impact on perceptions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to the survey, 47.4 per cent respondents rated Modi’s performance as good, while 33.8 per cent rated it as poor.
The ABP-CVoter polls give the Congress between 115 and 127 seats, a comfortable majority in the 224-member Karnataka Assembly, which goes to polls on May 10, amid a strong anti-incumbency wave.
