Election surveys are one by one predicting a very difficult phase for PM Modi right now. C Voter survey on prevailing electoral climate across the country showed most tough election for Modi in his bid for PM post for a second consecutive time. The BJP and its allies will fall far below the simple majority. Moreover, the survey says Modi will not get enough majority to form the government even if there is support from KCR, Jaganmohan Reddy and Navin Patnaik.

Interestingly, the C Voter survey has also said the situation of the UPA allies is not improving either. The Congress and its allies will not reach the magic figure even after including the support of the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party. In all likelihood, it is going to be a hung Parliament where it is even difficult for either NDA or UPA to mobilise enough numbers to form the government.

The latest political situation has thrown up bigger challenges in front the nation. The C voter survey is giving just 233 MP seats to NDA and 167 to UPA. Other parties will get 143. This time, the BJP and its allies will get just 25 seats in Uttar Pradesh, the country’s largest and politically trendsetting state. The national surveys picked up speed after the rival parties formed clear alliances. The UP developments threw up unexpected challenges before NDA and UPA now.
