'Will mahagathbandhan have an impact', asks survey on NaMo app

With Lok Sabha elections only four months away now and Prime Minister Narendra Modi planning a massive political campaign of 25 rallies in January alone to expand the influence of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in places like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, where it has yet to succeed, Uttar Pradesh will always remain the battle-ground in 2019 and here it will be decided whether the idea of 'Mahagatbandhan' will click or not.

New Delhi: A question in a survey on NaMo app has asked participants whether the 'mahagathbandhan' or the opposition's grand anti-BJP alliance will have an impact in their constituency or not? The questioned was listed in the ‘people’s pulse’ survey about which Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a video on Twitter urging people to take part in. In his video message, the prime minister says: "A survey has been launched on the NaMo app. I want your direct feedback through the survey. Your feedback matters. Your feedback on various issues will will help us take important decisions. Will you all fill that important survey?" The survey asks participants about their state, constituency, their view on progress achieved by the central government in sectors such as affordable healthcare, prosperity of farmers, corruption-free governance, Swachh Bharat, national security, economy, infrastructure, employment and rural electrification. Whether the 'mahagathbandhan' will have an impact in their constituency is among the last questions asked in the survey. With Lok Sabha elections only three months away now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning a massive political campaign of 25 rallies in January alone to expand the influence of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in places like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, where it has yet to have tasted success.  The stakes are as always high in Uttar Pradesh and will always remain the battle-ground in 2019 and here it will be decided whether the idea of 'Mahagatbandhan' will click or not.

The Congress has been left out of the grand alliance in Uttar Pradesh and is reportedly demanding a large number of seats out of the total 40 in Bihar to be a part of the mahagathbandhan. The party is citing examples of its winning run in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh , but the RJD, the propeller of an anti-NDA coalition, is not ready to buy the claim.
