Notably, when it comes to the race for the Prime Minister's position, Narendra Modi emerges as the public's first choice, followed by Rahul Gandhi.
Potential Challengers to PM Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections
The survey also raised a question regarding who could pose a challenge to PM Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

The survey findings indicate that his art of speechmaking and development-oriented approach resonate with the masses. As the nation looks forward to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi appears to be the most likely contender to challenge PM Modi's position. However, with his enduring popularity and strong support base, PM Modi remains a formidable force in Indian politics.
