Commenting on the findings, Parijat Chakraborty, group service line leader, Ipsos India said, “PM has shown stability around the economy, provided reprieve to the middle class in the budget with tax breaks giving more monies in the hands of the citizens. Then there is the recent repo rate cut of 25 basis points by the RBI, to make borrowing cheaper.

"Focus on education for the girl child, free-Mid Day Meals in Aanganwadis, launch of new education hubs, and specialised courses in urban centres, Skill India to make youngsters job ready have led people to express support in Modi’s governance," Chakraborty added.
