The political landscape in India remains deeply divided, with a lack of consensus on crucial national issues. The recent YouGov-Mint-CPR Millennial Survey, conducted in June, highlights the stark disparities in viewpoints between supporters of the ruling party and the newly-formed Opposition alliance. Notably, these differing perspectives extend to topics such as India’s progress compared to China’s, New Delhi’s G20 leadership, and population control.
The survey uncovered that 42% of respondents strongly identified with their preferred political party, while a quarter held moderate views. Notably, the percentage of weak partisans decreased significantly from 42% in mid-2021 to 34% presently, signaling an increased willingness among urban Indians to vocalize their political opinions.
The prevalent partisan divisions underscore the complex challenges facing India’s political discourse. The country’s citizens appear to be grappling with deeply entrenched viewpoints, hindering the emergence of common ground or mutual understanding on crucial national issues.
