NDTV Public Opinion: Who Is Most Preferred Chief Minister Of Karnataka

Congress's Siddaramaiah, who was the Chief Minister of Karnataka for a term that ended in 2018, is still the most preferred candidate for the post, NDTV's new opinion poll in partnership with Lokniti-Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) has found. There, however, is a caveat -- only four per cent people said their vote will depend on the Chief Ministerial candidate. The survey found that 40 per cent people prefer Siddaramaiah as the Chief Minister -- almost double the number, 22 per cent, who want to see Basavaraj Bommai back in the hot seat. 15 per cent people said they support HD Kumaraswamy, who had succeeded Mr Siddaramaiah and was in the post for only for a year.
