In an opinion poll conducted for a national weekly, which has
congratulated the President for returning the recommendation, the
following results are very illuminating. This poll was conducted
in five centers spread across Bihar.

Yes
No Can’t

say

Should the Rabri Govt be dismissed? 74 24 2

Is the law and order situation in Bihar
bad? 82
17 1

Does the law and order situation in Bihar
merit the imposition of president’s rule? 72 25 3

Do you think Laloo Prasad Yadav is
personally corrupt? 70 25 5

Do you think there is a financial crisis in
the state? 76
18 6

Do you think that Bihar governor is
partisan and playing BJP politics? 31 50 19

Would the situation in Bihar improve
with president’s rule or an alternative
government? 64 28
8

It would appear that there is an overwhelming opinion about the state of

the affairs in Bihar which would support what the Union Cabinet has
opined. It should be remembered that the Cabinet has not said that the
Bihar government has lost its majority in the assembly.
