According to a survey by Ipsos, 87% of Urban Indians have given high ratings to PM Narendra Modi and his team for their efficient handling of the Coronavirus crisis in the country.
A survey by Ipsos
Ipsos, a multinational market research firm, surveyed from April 23rd to April 26th, and collected responses from 26000 individuals across 13 countries. In 9 out of the 13 countries, the majority of the people felt that their government was doing a good job of handling the Coronavirus crisis in their respective countries. In the survey, 87% of the Urban Indians felt that the BJP Government was doing a good job of handling the COVID-19 issue.
Amit Adarkar, Ipsos India CEO, said: “Government was quick to enforce a total lockdown and took a number of bold, precautionary measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Now, the government is considering a cautious, partial re-opening in the green zones. Government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic has been lauded by the majority of the populace, polled in the survey.“
The role of the Government so far
After facing flak in the initial stages for their handling of the issue, the BJP Government, later on, with the timely announcement of the lockdown and its strict enforcement, has done a decent job of keeping the Coronavirus at bay, when you compare with the other countries which have failed in this aspect.
At the moment, the lockdown in the country has been extended until May 17th, while certain relaxations have been given in certain regions of the country.
