The latest Mood of the Nation (MOTN) survey by India Today reveals a significant shift in India's political dynamics, with Narendra Modi's approval rating falling below 50% for the first time amid rising criticisms of his government's economic management and the perceived misuse of central agencies. The BJP's loss of a clear majority in the 2024 elections has exacerbated Modi's challenges, while Rahul Gandhi's approval has increased to 22%, reflecting his successful rebranding and the growing discontent with Modi's leadership. The NDA is also facing internal turmoil, with Modi struggling to address the competing demands from the RSS, opposition, and recent judicial challenges.
