New Delhi: In the Lokniti-CSDS-ABP News survey ‘Desh Ka Mood’ conducted after completion of 4 years of Modi government, with an aim to to check the popularity meter of the different parties, it was observed that In West and Central India, the NDA continues to maintain its lead over the UPA. However, a surge in support for the Congress in Gujarat has meant that the gap between the two national fronts has shrunk considerably. In May 2017, the NDA had led the UPA by 24 percentage points in this region. In January 2018 this lead dropped to 8 points and now it has further reduced to just 5 points. Other than Gujarat, the Congress is also performing rather well in Madhya Pradesh where it is ahead of the BJP by a comfortable margin currently both at the Lok Sabha and Assembly election levels. In Maharashtra, while the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance continues to be ahead, the Congress and the NCP are giving it a tough fight. Here are the probable numbers in central and western parts of the country.
