With an approval rating of 76 per cent, Prime Minister Narendra Modi topped the list of global leaders approval rating survey, conducted by a US-based consultancy firm. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador came second.
The weekly survey conducted by US-based consultancy firm Morning Consult saw PM Modi getting an approval rating of 76 pc, while only 18 pc voted disapproving his popularity. Mexican President Lopez Obrador has scored 66 pc. US President Joe Biden, who came eighth in the list got only an approval rating of 37 pc. Swiss leader Alain Berset, who came third got an approval rating of 58 per cent.
BJP leaders asserted that "Modi ki guarantee" and "Modi's magic" have been endorsed even by an international survey as Prime Minister Narendra Modi topped the approval ratings among several world leaders.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said that after the assembly election results, even an international poll has given a thumbs up to Modi's guarantee and magic, which is about his model of governance and delivery.
He noted that Modi scored high ratings even during an international crisis like COVID-19 when other world leaders suffered in popular support. “It is because he had been able to deliver on development and growth while managing inflation and taking more than 13.5 crore people out of poverty. The approval rating will be reflected in the Lok Sabha polls in 2024,” Poonawalla said.
BJP leader C.T. Ravi lauded Modi as a "Karma yogi" who has been notching up high approval ratings due to his hard work, vision and dedication to transforming the country. "Today, the entire world looks up to PM Modi for guidance and advice in solving its problems," he said.
