Shady land deals, scams cost dear for UDF: Asianet News C-fore Survey

Asianet News C-fore pre-poll survey Anti-UDF sway

The writing on the wall is clear and loud for the United Democratic Front in Kerala, to go by the results of the Asianet News C-Fore pre-poll survey: Controversial land deals and corruption will cost dearly for the ruling dispensation.

More than half of the respondents in the survey opined that the controversial land allotments of the government will be a setback for the UDF.

The performance of the UDF government was not altogether bad, a good majority felt. Around 38% of the respondents gave average rating to the government while 13% marked good and 5% felt it did an excellent job.

Though the survey results predicted a clear majority for the opposition Left Democratic Front (LDF), Congress Chief Minister Oommen Chandy remains the favourite among CM probables.

(All figures in per centage)

Who should be the next Chief Minister

Oommen Chandy (Congress):   29%

VS Achuthandan: (CPM):   26%

Kummanam Rajashekharan (BJP):  16%

Pinarayi Vijayan (CPM): 16%

Ramesh Chennithala : 6%

 

But then what is playing against the UDF?

It seems the recent controversies in land allotment orders and corruption cases including Solar scam have left a bad impression.
