Modi's popularity rises unabated, says Amit Shah

Modi remains the most popular national figure in Indian politics tested in the survey.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity has risen “unabated” across the country and people’s satisfaction with the economy is at an “all-time high”, BJP chief Amit Shah said on Thursday, citing a survey by the Pew Research Center.

According to the survey conducted by the American think tank, more than eight-in-ten Indians say economic conditions are “good” in the country despite Mr Modi’s decision to abolish high-value bank notes last November.

Nine out of ten people in the country hold a favourable opinion about him and that indicates the popularity of Mr Modi among the countrymen, Mr Shah said in a BJP statement. “The findings of Pew Global research are very significant. After Modi Government came to power, people’s trust in Government, Democracy and confidence that the nation is in the right direction has gone up drastically,” Shah said in a series of tweets.

“PM @narendramodi’s popularity rises unabated across the length & breadth of the country and across demographic groups. His handling of various issues also receive a thumbs up from people,” Shah said. Modi remains the most popular national figure in Indian politics tested in the survey.
