ABP News-CVoter Survey: BJP to gain immensely in LS Polls if farmer loan waiver passed

The ABP-CVoter which was carried out to gauge the mood of the voters in all the states covering the 543 Lok Sabha constituencies threw a question to the respondents as to whether a nationwide farmer loan waiver will be a game changer in favour of BJP in upcoming Lok Sabha elections

In the recently held state Assembly elections, farm loan waiver turned out to a major factor in deciding the fate of political parties. The dismal state of farmers affected by the unpredictability of monsoons has been a critical issue which has led to anti-incumbency among the farmer class across India. The BJP which ruled the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chattisgarh for more than two decades suffered a spree of defeats largely attributed to the growing discontentment of the farmers against the lackadaisical attitude of the government. With the elections just three months away, most of the political pundits are expecting the Modi-led BJP govt to doll out a populist interim budget centred around farmer's loan waiver.
