New Delhi: In the Lokniti-CSDS-ABP News survey ‘Desh Ka Mood’ conducted to find out the graph of popularity of the different political parties, after completion of 4 years of Modi government, it was found that in the Eastern part of the country, overall support for the BJP/NDA has remained stable over the last one year .

The BJP continues to perform extremely well in Bihar (along with the JDU) and has shown a good performance in Odisha as well. Coming together with JDU has proved fruitful for BJP.

However it is still unable to make much of a dent in West Bengal where the Trinamool Congress remains the dominant player by quite a distance.

Jharkhand and Assam, meanwhile, are showing clear signs of a Congress revival. While in Jharkhand, the survey found the Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha to be ahead of the BJP and its partners, in Assam the Congress has surged ahead of the ruling party, perhaps because of people’s anger against the proposed amendments to the Citizenship Act.
