AAP does not want ban on opinion polls

January 09, 2014 11:00

Just in: The Aam Admi Party says it's against a ban on opinion polls. AAP minister for urban development, Manish Sisodia, says the results of polls should be made public.

Not surprising, since India's biggest metropolises are eagerly looking forward to the Aam Aadmi Party going national and expect it to make a big splash in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, but a majority still view Narendra Modi as a better prime ministerial prospect than Arvind Kejriwal with Rahul Gandhi a distant third.

The government wants a ban on opinion polls ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in line with the views of the election commission.
