With the furor over the Indo-US nuclear deal continuing to dominate Indian politics, NDTV conducted an exclusive opinion poll to assess the people's views.Over 12,000 people from 120 constituencies were surveyed by the NDTV team, out of which 75 per cent of the respondents were from rural India.The results of the poll show that only 37 per cent of the people trust the Left's stand on the Indo-US nuclear deal.Among those polled, 56 per cent were aware of the nuclear deal, while 44 per cent were not aware of it.Out of those who are aware of the deal, 60 per cent of people want the deal to go ahead.With regard to the people's faith in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, 63 per cent of those surveyed said that they trusted the prime minister. And 65 per cent of those who trust the PM feel that he should not resign.With reference to the prospect of mid-term polls if the Left withdraws support from the government, the NDTV poll shows the Congress as gaining ground and the BJP and the Left sliding.According to the poll, if an election were held at the moment, the Congress will gain 40 seats across the country, which will mean the party's tally will jump from 145 in 2004 to 185.The other big gainer will be the BSP; its tally is set to rise by 23 seats to 42 seats in all.Meanwhile, the BJP is expected to lose 22 seats, which implies at drop in its national tally from 138 in 2004 to 116.The other big loser will the Left Front, its tally is expected to drop from 64 seats in 2004 to 39 seats.

I really do not understand why educated benaglis are so enamoured with a failed political idealogue like communism. All over the world, whereever they have ruled or are ruling, they have been a symbol of oppression. Masquerading as freinds of poor and the downtrodden, they have just created a hogwash. They have done nothing to bridge the gap between rich and poor, rather they kept the gap alive to gain mileage. I thought Kerala is one of the most literate states and bengalis are known for their intellect, but it is seriously a big blurt on their credibility when these gangs side with some fundamentalist(they are more dangerous than the religious fundamentalists) like the commies.
What have they done in soviet union and east europe other tahn creating dictators and making life miserable for the poor? In India we have been dangerously close to handing power to them, its time to throw they away once and for all.
