NEW DELHI: An opinion poll
conducted by RSS mouthpiece 'Organiser' ahead of Lok Sabha elections has said
development and governance were top issues before voters but steered clear of
any mention of Ram Temple.
The survey, published in the latest issue of the weekly, said BJP's prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi is the top choice of voters for the PM's post except in south India where Rahul Gandhi enjoys an edge.

Corruption, strangely, did not figure among the top five
topics among voters though it was one of the issues among the top ten. The
opinion poll, however, does not mention Ram Temple.
The survey, conducted by Organiser and Lok Saarthi Foundation in 380 parliamentary constituencies across all states in central, northern, western, eastern and southern India, said that the majority of 1.14 lakh sampled electors listed lack of employment and basic amenities such as electricity, hospitals, roads and drinking water, as their primary concerns.

The survey was conducted
between the first week of January and the first week of March to guage the
"mood of the voters" on issues of concern to them and preferred
leadership.
It took 300 samples from
each Lok Sabha segment to "determine issues infringing on the day-to-day
lives of people and of leadership which people see as capable of solving those
issues".
The all-India opinion poll
says that Modi is the top choice for PM's job by 48 per cent of the voters in
north India followed by 27 per cent who back Rahul Gandhi. Arvind Kejriwal of
AAP, however, trails far behind, it said.
RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav
said the survey was not conducted by RSS but the Organiser, a weekly run by
Swayamsevaks and RSS sympathisers.
"RSS does not and never
conducts any surveys at the time of elections. This survey is done by
Organiser. But to term and project it as an RSS survey is not correct,"
Madhav told PTI.
Reacting to the survey, BJP
Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "At present, there is a wave
against malgovernance. This election will be to change the situation and fate
of the country. Narendra Modi, BJP and NDA will win the Lok Sabha polls
irrespective of whether the survey perdicts it or not."
