A majority of urban Indians, across party lines, see free goods and services given to the poor as unnecessary freebies and detrimental to government finances, the latest YouGov-Mint-CPR Millennial Survey showed.
Urban India largely acknowledges that social media is the least trustworthy place to form political views. But many place high trust in the social media handles of the party of their own liking, while dismissing the others as propagandists.
Support for the party in power may be at an all-time high, but that doesn’t mean Indians agree with it on everything. Simultaneous elections have few takers even among BJP supporters, and many agree with the Opposition on the caste census, the latest YouGov-Mint-CPR Millennial Survey found.
Around 47% of urban Indians interviewed in the latest YouGov-Mint-CPR survey said they identified with the BJP. The Opposition alliance has bad news: 50% of the respondents doubted its ability to counter the ruling party in the upcoming elections.
