In Kerala, MPs MLAs rate higher than state govt #IndiaNEWS #FOCUS
New Delhi, May 21 | Voters in Kerala appeared to be ambivalent when it came to rating the performance of their elected representatives. In contrast to other states, residents of Kerala have rated their MPs and MLAs higher than the state government when it comes to performance.
This was revealed during a survey conducted by CVoter on behalf of IANS to mark one year of Assembly elections that were held in four states and one union territory in 2021. Breaking a five decade old norm when incumbent governments were routinely thrown out every five years, the Left Front led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had not only retained power in 2021 but also won a bigger mandate.
According to the survey, more than 32 per cent of the respondents were very satisfied with the performance of the state government, while another 41 per cent were somewhat satisfied with the performance. The survey also indicates that 26 per cent of the respondents were not satisfied at all. As for the performance of Chief Minister, while 42 per cent of the respondents said that they were very much satisfied with Vijayans performance, more than 30 per cent said that they were somewhat satisfied.
At the same time, 26 per cent expressed dissatisfaction with Vijayans performance. The survey also revealed that Opposition leader in the state has also not lost connect with the people. During the survey, while 21 per cent of the respondents said that they were very much satisfied with the performance of Opposition leader, more than 39 per cent said that they were somewhat satisfied. So, in effect, 60 per cent of the respondents expressed satisfaction with the performance of opposition leader. In contrast, 23 per cent expressed dissatisfaction.
In most other states where the survey was conducted, the performance of MPs and MLAs were not rated in a favourable manner. But they seem to have done very well in Kerala. According to the survey, 39 per cent of the respondents were very satisfied with the performance of their MP, while another 31 per cent of the respondents said that they were somewhat satisfied. Just about 18 per cent of the respondents were not satisfied at all with the performance of their MP. Similarly, 45 per cent of the respondents stated they were very satisfied with the performance of their local MLA, while another 31 per cent were somewhat satisfied. Less than 16 per cent of the respondents said they were not satisfied at all.
Interestingly, during the survey in Kerala, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi has scored good approval ratings for his performance as head of the Union government, more no of people said they would prefer to see Congress leader Rahul Gandhi occupying countrys top post in future.
