With the Maharashtra and Haryana elections coming up in less than a week, it seems like unemployment is the biggest issue in both states. According to the ABP C-Voter survey for the third week of October, 28 percent of people in Haryana and 23.1 percent of people in Maharashtra listed ‘status of local employment/business’ as the biggest issue for them at the moment.
Water issues came in second in both states with 12.4 percent of people in Haryana and 18.4 percent of people in Maharashtra stating that it is their biggest issue.
However, in both states, where the BJP is presently in power, the saffron party emerged as the party with the most perceived chance of winning, with 59.8 of people voting for the BJP in Haryana and 48.8 of people voting for them in Maharashtra.
