India TV-CNX Opinion Poll: People in UP satisfied with Modi Govt's response to Pulwama terror attack | Highlights
To gauge the mood of the nation after the IAF strike, CNX, a Delhi based research and survey agency has conducted a series of Opinion Polls for IndiaTV.
The airstrike carried out by the Indian Air Force in the aftermath of Pulwama terror attack has stirred the emotions across the country. The deadly attack on CRPF convoy, IAF strike on Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camps, Pakistan's failed counter strike, MiG-21 pilot Abhinandan's detention and dramatic release united the nation in despair, prayer and celebrations.
But has it also united the voters towards one party? In the first opinion since the Pulwama terror attack and IAF strike, India TV and CNX - a Delhi based research and survey agency - have tried to gauge the mood of the nation through a look at voters' mood in Uttar Pradesh.
Watch India TV-CNX Opinion Poll:
06:32 pm: As per last India TV-CNX Opionion Poll, BJP has made significant stride in the post IAF airstrike scenario. If Lok Sabha elections 2019 were held today, the BJP was expected to gain 12 seats in Uttar Pradesh and end at winning 41 seats out of total 80. The BJP's vote share stands at 40.95% in the latest India TV-CNX Opinion Poll. In 2014 the BJP's vote share was 42.63 per cent and the party had bagged a whopping 73 seats paving the way for Modi-led government.
The Mahagathbandhan that was supposed to gain 49 seats in India TV-CNX's previous opinion poll loses 14 seats post airstrike scenario and is likely to gain 35 seats. Clearly, the Modi government's head-on fight against the terror camps across the Line of Control has helped its fortunes in Uttar Pradesh.
