People lukewarm to PM Narendra Modi government's attempt to curb corruption ... - Economic Times

NEW DELHI: It's been seven months and five days since Narendra Modi was sworn in as India's 15th Prime Minister, and he clearly retains the confidence and goodwill of the metropolitan middle class. His government is viewed by a majority of people in eight biggest cities to have done a good job so far and is expected to continue to do well.

However, a survey - conducted exclusively for TOI by IPSOS in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad - found people somewhat lukewarm to the government's performance.

While 40% said it had reduced corruption, 45% said it had made no difference, another 8% felt the situation had worsened.

The survey polled a little over 1,200 men and women aged 18 and above. The purposive sample was divided equally between men and women and between the cities. The age groups 18-29, 30-45 and 45-plus were equally represented in the sample as were socio-economic groups SEC A1, A2, B1 and B2. The fieldwork, in the form of face-to-face interviews, was done on Dec 27 and 28.
