Lok Sabha elections 2019: Will prime minister Narendra Modi win 2019 General elections? Will he power BJP to a similar victory margin like 2014? Or, will the Congress topple BJP and come back to power with the support of regional parties? As Fitness Challenge becomes the latest fad on social media, an ABP News-CSDS survey throws light on Modi’s popularity today, and what can happen if General Elections in the country and Assembly polls in the state are called today. The survey was carried out in 19 states of the country.
In 2014, Modi powered BJP to a landslide victory. That was the first time in around three decades when any party won a full majority on its own in the Lok Sabha polls. Since 2014, several surveys have suggested Modi’s popularity remains high.
