A graphic of a survey is being circulated where it is being claimed that a survey was conducted, according to which 87% of the public wants to remove Modi from power. However, this graphic did not provide any additional information about which organization conducted this survey.

While sharing this graphic image, a user named Rajshree Yadav wrote, “Are you also among this 87%?”

Shobhnath Rao asserted, “Are you also included in this 87%? Apart from 87%, at least 3% more people also do not like Modi? But if the Election Commission of India and EVM machines like only Modi, then what can the people of the country do.”

The same graphic was also shared by many other handles like Gargi Rawat, Monu Kumar Singh, Anwar Muloor, and Shatrughan Sinha stan account.

Fact Check

In our fact check research, we used relevant keywords related to this survey, but we couldn’t find any survey report that shows Prime Minister Modi has a disapproval rating of 87%, nor any media coverage mentioning such a survey.

Contrary to the claim, we found a report from May 2020 in Navbharat Times which mentioned a survey stating that 87 percent of urban Indians gave a high rating to the Modi government for handling the COVID-19 crisis. This survey was conducted by the multinational market research firm Ipsos at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic was intensifying across the globe. While speaking about the survey, the CEO of Ipsos India said that the Indian government had imposed a complete lockdown early on and had taken several bold measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Most of the people surveyed praised the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
