What Would Be Voters' Agenda For Lok Sabha Election? ABP-CVoter Survey Finds Out
With the elections fast approaching, the ABP News-CVoter Opinion Poll brings you what the nation is thinking and gives you a hint as to which way the Lok Sabha elections could swing.
As the Lok Sabha Election 2024 dates near, voters are steeling their minds and hoping that their choice of candidates helps the nation elect a government that would take India to greater heights and ease their lives. The voters will definitely be hoping for a better scene on the inflation front that would reduce their cost of living.
While food inflation saw a month-on-month rise by 0.1% in February, the wholesale price index-based inflation in India eased in February, dropping to 0.2% from 0.27% in January. While such nuances of economic data and inflation have little impact on the common voter, the macro impact of the government's policies can be profound on them.

In every election, the primary concern of political parties needs to be the people's agenda. The ABP News-CVoter Survey tried to find out exactly this. When asked: "According to you, which factor will influence the voters the most in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections", government welfare schemes featured high on the respondents' agenda. As much as 30.4% of the 41,762 respondents said "Beneficiary schemes of the Central Government" were important to them. Of these, 44% were supporters of the NDA, while 16.7% backed the Opposition.
"Rahul Gandhi's promise to provide employment" seems to have resonated with the voters as 27% of the surveyed voters said this was important to them. Rahul Gandhi, during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, promised to provide government jobs to 30 lakh individuals and bring in 50% reservation in employment. Of the 27% respondents, who would keep this in mind while voting in the Lok Sabha elections, 39.8% supported the Opposition and 14.1% were in favour of the BJP-led NDA.
The Centre's move to reduce LPG and fuel prices right ahead of the Lok Sabha elections could also work for the NDA with 17% of the respondents saying that this holds importance for them.
