Largest Voter Survey in Karnataka Shows Anti-Incumbency Wave Against BJP #IndiaNEWSAll #Karnataka
According to a recent survey conducted by Eedina. com, there is an anti-incumbency wave against the Basavaraj Bommai’s led BJP government in Karnataka. The survey, which is said to be the biggest in the history of Karnataka elections, was conducted in all assembly constituencies across the state, covering 183 constituencies so far, with work still continuing in some more, including 28 constituencies in Bengaluru. It saw participation from people belonging to different sections, communities, and areas.
Details of Survey 
The survey was conducted from March 23rd till date, with 39,181 interviews conducted so far. 16 booths were selected in each constituency and 25 people from each of the booths were interviewed, with random sampling employed in both cases. The door-to-door survey was conducted in-person with a Kannada questionnaire.
Its methodology aimed to have representation from all communities of the society, with the final survey achieving a sample in which the percentage of people belonging to a particular community was very close to their actual representation in the population of Karnataka. The proportion of respondents from urban and rural areas was proportional to their percentage in the population of the state. 55% of the respondents were male and 45% were female. The survey covered various communities, with opinions of 17% scheduled castes, 8% scheduled tribes, 11% Muslims, 17% Lingayats, 11% Okkaligas, and 10% Kuruba community.  

Anti-Incumbency Wave
The question asked in the survey was whether the current government should be given another chance to govern. The results showed that two-thirds of the voters want the BJP government to go, and a quarter (27%) of BJP supporters are not happy with the current government. The survey also found that most Congress and JDS supporters have spoken against the government, with 87% of Congress supporters and 88% of JDS supporters expressing that the government should not be given another chance to govern.


Interestingly, 57% of respondents belonging to upper castes such as Brahmins and Vaisyas favored the current government, while Lingayats were found to be more or less equally divided on both sides of the issue. Additionally, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Muslims, Okkaligas and Kurubas have largely expressed their opinion against the continuation of this government. Within this group, Muslims (86%) and Okkaligas (78%) are the most opposed to the continuation of the current government.
The survey also found that anti-incumbency sentiment against MLAs from the ruling BJP is higher compared to their Congress or JDS counterparts. Only 33% of respondents were willing to give their sitting MLA another chance, while a little less than that were against it.
