MoTN Survey: Modi Government Faces Challenges Amid Paper Leak Scandal and Economic Struggles The MoTN survey, released in August 2026, highlights the complex landscape of public sentiment toward the Narendra Modi-led government. While the survey underscores widespread dissatisfaction with issues like the paper leak scandal, economic inequality, and unemployment, it also reveals enduring trust in Modi’s leadership and key policy initiatives. The findings reflect a divided public, with Gen-Z (the youth demographic) expressing both frustration and hope for systemic change. Paper Leak Scandal and Institutional Trust The paper leak scandal, which erupted in early 2025, has significantly damaged public confidence in the government’s transparency and accountability. The survey reveals that 40.9% of respondents express skepticism about the Election Commission of India’s impartiality, while 46.6% believe the incident has harmed the reputation of both central and state governments. Critics argue that the scandal exposes systemic flaws in bureaucratic oversight, with 43.2% of respondents claiming that corruption has worsened under the current administration. However, the government’s response to the crisis has not entirely eroded public trust, as 51.3% of respondents still rate Modi’s personal conduct as “excellent” or “good.” Economic Inequality and Unemployment Crisis The survey highlights deepening economic disparities, with 43.7% of respondents asserting that the benefits of economic growth are concentrated among the wealthy elite. Unemployment remains a pressing concern, as 53% of Gen-Z respondents identify job opportunities as their top priority, followed by 22% who cite education and exam fairness.#narendra_modi #election_commission_of_india #uniform_civil_code #one_nation_one_poll #citizens_pressure_group
