An exclusive survey-cum-opinion poll conducted by CVoter in Karnataka ahead of the May 10 assembly reveals that as many as 57 per cent of the respondents are angry with the State Government and want to change it.
As per the survey, just about 17 per cent of the potential voters say that they are not angry with the government and do not want to change it. There are other ominous signals for theBJPgovernment led by chief minister Basavraj Bommai. Almost 47 per cent of the respondents rate the performance of the chief minister as ‘poor’.
In addition, Corruption has emerged as a major issue among the voters in the state after Unemployment and Infrastructure. In assembly elections in states ruled by the BJP, the last time corruption had become a major issue was in Jharkhand in 2019, where the BJP had lost. Barring that, incumbent BJP governments in states have not faced such levels of anger among a majority of the voters who want to change the government.
