Do these reviews present an accurate picture?
Political observers and some intellectuals in India have termed such surveys as unrealistic and a political ploy. According to him, there is very little time left in the Assembly elections of five states, in this context, such reviews are "sponsored" for political interests.

India Today magazine has also been used as a weapon for this.

India Today says the country is struggling with the epidemic and its wounds, the economy is in shambles and there is an atmosphere of dangerous border confrontation with China, as well as problems for farmers, but Modi's popularity is declining. Has not come
'Trying to please your masters'
Leading journalist and secretary of Editors Guilds of India Sanjay Kapoor says that the purpose of such a survey is to praise and encourage the rulers.
Talking to DW Urdu, he said, "Agencies that do this are also subject to their masters and act on their instructions."
According to Sanjay Kapoor, however, Narendra Modi is a popular leader in India because he interferes in everything as if he is the only one running the country or he is spoiling it. Comes.
So the purpose of such a survey before the election is for political gain and to show that we are still popular. "
According to Sanjay Kapoor, this is also a ploy before the elections and since the BJP will seek votes in the name of Narendra Modi in the coming elections, the purpose of such surveys is to make the people applaud his leadership.
