In response to election commission's request, Congress expressed the view that opinion polls tend to influence voters' decision. Congress has sought ban on such opinion polls. It cannot be ruled out that these polls are generally based on inadequate data are unreliable. These may also be doctored to suit certain groups. Other parties are yet to give their views to EC.

It is right than opinion polls are base less but it is also right that Indian voters never influence with these opinion polls. Cast, money , religion and some more this influence voters.

If you run a party, hire an agency. The opinion polls will say, "Anil's party will sweep the polls." everything is business here. There is no credibility to the present day opinion polls.

Tell me how many voters watch these opinion polls seriously. Country where voter vote to symble , they cann't read name of candidates, how can they understand opinion polls.

It may be that the voters do not understand the opinion polls. Then what are these opinion polls about. These reflect choice of the very voters who cannot understand these. Consequently are these polls not fake.?

They say if you go on hearing a lie, it becomes a truth. Mind has the tendency to get influenced. Mao's regime in China has used this to its advantage effectively.

Actually the trick of telling lies repeatedly was invented by Nazi Germany. Goebbels- Hitler's Foreign minister- believed that a lie repeated one thousand times becomes truth. But this is not possible in a country like India. We have multi party system and independent press and media.

Now let us go the main theme of this thread, viz. opinion polls. Congress opposes the opinion. But many other parties are supporting this. The real fact is that any political party supports or opposes the opinion poll according to relative advantage. If the poll says you will win- okay. If the poll says you will lose- this is bad and should be banned.

I am not supporting this, Opinion polls should not be banned, it is against freedom of speech, and why EC will ask these, as these are not the duties of their, it is the duty of Honorable Supreme Court to give verdict, and in democracy there are many opinions, voters are not mutants to influenced by all these. Parties should concentrate on their ground work, they should not think beyond it.

BJP thinks that coward feels unsecured to participate in opinion polls.
According to me, the question of bravery and cowardness has nothing to do with polls.

Don't forget that the poll agencies are paid agencies. The poll verdict will be in accordance with the diktats of the party or individual that hired the agency.
