Of the 30 states in India, including Delhi and Puducherry, 14 are ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), either on its own or in an alliance. It, therefore, comes as no surprise that in the latest india today-CVoter Mood of the Nation (MOTN) poll, six of the 10 chief ministers with the highest satisfaction ratings in their home states belong to the BJP. Yet, neither the BJP nor its traditional rival Congress, which rules in three states and is a junior partner in another, could bag the top two positions. The first spot went to Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, who heads the regional party Biju Janata Dal. He is followed by Delhi CM and Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who has clocked a massive jump in popularity within the state, with 69.2 per cent respondents expressing satisfaction with his performance, up from 58.9 per cent in August 2022.
