BJP's Modi lead shrinks as Rahul Gandhi gains, Gen Z seeks alternatives in latest India polling
CVoter director Yashwant Deshmukh analyzed the latest Mood of the Nation survey, which shows the BJP-led NDA retaining its lead but facing erosion. According to the analysis, the BJP confronts warning signs including growing anti-incumbency, fallout from the UGC reservation controversy, and Gen Z voters exploring political alternatives. The source argues that Rahul Gandhi's appeal is rising and actor Vijay is emerging as a third force, while the BJP's reliance on PM Modi and communication failures are widening vulnerability.
