#MoodOfAssam2023 | “Which Political Party Do You Like The Most?”
As the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government in Assam turns two years old, Pratidin Time along with Gauhati University carried out an extensive opinion poll named ‘Mood of Assam, 2023’ in which people of all demographics across the state put forward their views on the work undertaken in terms of all-round development of Assam.
The eighth question of the mega opinion poll was “Which political party do you like the most?”
The options for this question were AAP, AGP, AIUDF, AJP, BJP, BPF, UPPL, INC, RD, TMC, and NOTA. The respondents for this question were divided into three categories, that is, Assam, Upper Assam and Central-Lower Assam.
