Narendra Modi: The Choice of Digital India

Executive Summary

Its time for The Mandate once again! 2014 Lok Sabha election is less than a year away and this election will be remembered in future as the most important election in current times. India will be a 67 year old democracy in 2014. It is still very young but a well-placed democracy since Independence. After two consecutive tenures of congress-led UPA government, 2014 will provide the opposition a fresh chance to prove their mettle and a new force in power could well pave for a new chapter for the young country. On the other side, the ruling UPA coalition led by Congress will surely look for a hattrick at the helm. Evidently its for this reason that the government is playing its development cards carefully. With opposition vying for the ruling governments blood and the government trying to salvage some pride ahead of Lok Sabha elections, the Indian political scenario is charged up. Which way would the political wind finally blow to? Will the last minute developmental work be enough to save the boat for the Congress-led UPA alliance? Or would the Indian electorate demand a change in the high office? With India at this crossroad and some of the growth and developmental parameters of the country touching the rock bottom, we at foreseegame.com thought it would be best to resort to the citizens office and get their views on the upcoming election. The fact that the growth and developmental standards in India have taken a hard hit was revealed in our earlier Opinion Squares titled AspireAlertAwake India and Satyamev Jayate 1. Now the survey results exposed in Satyamev Jayate 2, clearly shows that the Indian electorate is conscious, intelligent, sensible and well aware of the last minute gimmicks political parties play to change the imminent course of the event. The questions throw light upon a politically conscious India and acts as an elementary poll prediction.

The take away points:

Executive Summary

1. Growth Factor. The participants have voted for the growth model of Gujarat government led by Narendra Modi as the best growth model for India. 54% participants have voted for the growth model of Gujarat government led by Narendra Modi and the participants want to see that experience replicating in the whole country. 2. A clean sweep for Narendra Modi. More than 60% participants have unanimously voted for Narendra Modi as the best Prime Ministerial candidate for the upcoming Lok Sabha election. Rahul Gandhi of the Congress party became a distant second with just 11% votes.

3. Stability Counts. The question of Hung Parliament has made the participants tilt towards the combination that could provide stable government. 65% participants have said that they would be voting for the party or candidate, who is winning at the centre combination, capable of providing stable government. About 35% people however, will vote for their preferred party or candidate irrespective of who the winner is.
4. Modi Magic. Clearly Narendra Modi seems to have appeared as the clear choice for the Indians. The joint influence of BJP and NDA faded in the face of the Modi magic. A whopping 49% strong crowd said that they would vote for BJP and NDA only if Modi is declared as the Prime Ministerial candidate. While only 19% people have said that they wont vote for BJP and NDA under any circumstances, about the same number of people have voiced their unfaltering support for the party/coalition. It seems that NDA will not be able to take advantage of antiincumbency factor if they dont declare Modi as the PM candidate. 5. Sinking Boat. The situation is not working in favour of the Congress-led UPA government. It has become evident as about 52% people have expressed their reservation and said that they wont vote for the Congress and UPA under any circumstance. Only about 21% people out of all the respondents have said they will vote for the Congress and UPA only when Rahul Gandhi is declared as the Prime Ministerial candidate, where as 15% respondents think they will vote for Congress and UPA without considering Rahul Gandhi factor 6. Credibility Matters. Credible leadership seems to be the decisive factor for the Indian electorate. About 65% of the respondents are ready to change their voting decision in favour of any national party if they declare a credible and honest person as their Prime Ministerial candidate.
