India Today’s ‘Mood of the Nation’ survey overplays Yogi Adityanath’s ratings in an all-India survey, and downplays the lacklustre ratings he gets within Uttar Pradesh.
In episode 544 of #CutTheClutter, Shekhar Gupta looks at the India Today 'Mood of the Nation' survey and analyses why Modi continues to be viewed favourably.
Republic TV took us to Safdarjung and LNJP hospitals for a medical horror show. NDTV 24x7, India TV, and Mirror Now found patients' families describing 'harrowing experiences'.
Indian media is not doing journalism. Channels from Zee News, Aaj Tak to Network18 add ‘jihad’ to everything, which bigots on social media then use to target individual Muslims.
Questions such as "Was this a deliberate, calibrated attempt to 'malign the image of India' during Trump’s visit?" undercut good reporting by news channels.
Once seen as a fading presence on India’s investment & startup picture, the state is slowly moving up the ladder, with policy reforms & infrastructure building.

This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Print who asked you to review on Yogi ji.
Ur media is totally biased, Anti Hindu, Anti national.
Don’t bark on every issue, now majority understand that who is with them and nation.
Gone were those days when people and media like you manipulate.
Now count your days, until Yogi ji become Next PM
Who asked for your biased opinion? Yogi Adityanath is the best CM in india. Bcz I am from Gujarat and I am a frequent visitor of UP since 2004, I have seen changes. Yogi Adityanath did a better work then Narendra Modi did in his tenure in Gujrat. ( I am not biased FYI)
Kitne pasia mile yogi se is article ko publish kar e ke liya ??? mene itna jhoot kabhi vi nahi pada salo andbhakt to tum log journalist ke name pe kalank ko. ???
Hindus should be asking why a nation of 1 billion Hindus could produce only a chai wallah with a forged degree, and a dirty yogi with a criminal record.
Now they imagine this Yogi is a Vivekananda, the next Hindu vishwa guru.
Just because you dont like Yogi Adityanath, means you disown surveys? Write all non-sense. I remember before 2014. “India is not Gujarat Mr. Modi” Thus spake all you left liberal pseudo intellects. Today? Modi is going to win 2024. Take it from me.
If one believes the surveys, one has to wonder why 1 billion Hindus could only produce a dirty looking Yogi , who promotes gomutra and says caste system is a good for regulating society.
Modi is winning elections but economy and country are in the doldrums. But Hindu militants worship him.
What does that show ? Many Hindus have low IQ.
China took land, and your chowkidar was quiet and meek. Bilqul chup ! What does that show ? Hindu militants are the proverbial Hindu cowards.
Aa Gaya jihadi Randi ka chakka aulad,Jo ukhadna hai ukhadlo,yogi hi banega 2029 mein PM
Corrupted media ???
Biggest lie I ever heard in my life ???
YOgi is certainly a very good organiser and does not sit back on his haunches. But let us remember that one of the first things he did was use his clout as CM to withdraw several criminal cases that were pending investigation against him. So, he would be a good CM if there was no Constitution and laws were to be interpreted by him alone. Meanwhile several quiet performers like EPS, Patnaik and Vijayan are ignored.
” In other words, a respondent in Chennai can name Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi. And a respondent in Shimla can pick Uddhav Thackeray of Maharashtra as the best chief minister in India.”
If I think my Chief Minister is the BEST I will not choose another Chief Minister just for fun.
Well that’s a fantastic plan of BJP creating a future PM candidate, as we all know they r aggressively looking for Modi ji replacement so this starts a strategy of bringing Yogi in lime light nothing wrong though people get old get replaced that’s how politics work and in 10 years usually people are bored seeing same face as a PM, same topics same man ki baat and same aatmanirbhar well kinda fun it will be, Yogi as a PM what about motu bhai then I thibk health reasons, curious why Mohan Bhagwat is not looking at this position either way cannot put the congress rebel scindia or others as most of our politicians are getting old now.
If yogi is the best CM in country then the sacrifices of people like Gandhi, Ambedkar is gone in vain. He’s been best because of help of religion and temple.
Shivam, Shivam, Shivam. What a child you are. You still need to be coached in the ways of the media inspite of writing (hit and miss) opinion pieces for years. Yogi Adityanath is playing the same game that Modi played 20 years back in Gujarat.
Name of the game: create hype.
Players: Anybody with access to public money.
Playground: Media houses.
Supporters: Brain-washed public all over India.
It is obvious that he is trying to position himself for the top office once the Modi era is over. Brace for an almighty implosion in the BJP-RSS resulting from the inevitable Shah vs Yogi clash. You can get your popcorn ready and watch the fun from the side-lines coz no one from the liberal space is going to occupy the top chair in India thanks to the efforts of people like you to undermine the opposition. Rupani and all his Gujarati brethren can also join as spectators when the North Indian lobby will eviscerate the Gujarati lobby of the BJP.
Must everyone vote BJP. No need waste vote on others. Must vote 100% BJP and fully exterminate ALL competing parties and differing points of view. Of what use is competition? We are already the most enlightened country Ram Rajya & economic powerhouse bringing Acche Din? Next, Modi will lead conquest of China.
He or his govt. did not control Nipah , the health workers of hispitals dud it fir the state. Part of the Floid gavoc last year was man-made by his electricity minister ordering release of dam water too late. Lastly, WHO is a Chinese controlled organization and no one takes its utterances seriously now, after several blunders !
‘the health workers of hispitals dud it fir the state. ‘
At least, Kerala has a health care system, and a minister who got interviewed on BBC and who has been commended by WHO.
Kerala has even published its mitigation plan for rise of sea levels due to global warming. It seems to have people with real focus unlike gobar filled numskulls like Yogi.
Yogi could not handle Japanese encephalitis in his own constituency, and he gaoled the doctor because the media praised him.
Ok terrorist communist.. kerala producess maximum ISIS terroist, most of them goes outside to do labour work. law and order worst. Keralas health care system destroyed by COvid, check the datas now.. that communist proapganda dont work any more. and what paid channel like BBC does dont represent any thing. calm down foreign communist
Today in UP, a 6 year old girl was raped in UP, and her genitals are so damaged that she is fighting for life.
Yogi could not control Japanese encephaltis, so he put the doctor who saved children, into gaol.
After China took land, and there was talk about businesses exiting from China, the Yogi declared that he had written to those companies to locate to UP. He got carried away and send UP was going to become an industrial hub ! No company relcoated to UP.
Earlier Yogi had said UP was going to be hub for religious tourism.
When he became CM, he was interviewed on NDTV. When asked about caste, he said it was a very good system to regulate society.
Dubey’s gangsters killed 11 policemen in UP before he got encountered.
Give me a break !
The media can be controlled by assaulting journalists. The other way is to use industrial money to buy out the media. The industrialists are given benefits in return. It turns into an oligarchy run for the benefit of the few.
Excellent Rasgolla sir. This dim witted chaddi gang needs such replies!
Sure they will get pinching replies !
They don’t have the intellect to write a refutation.
First of all you idiots should know that The Print secretly appreciates Yogi Adityanath.Now as far as I know there are better CM s in India, but not in this period.Certainly he’s the best CM.Comparing him to a stupid appeaser like Vijayan will even surprise Vijayan.Being from kerala I can he is presently engaging in caste and religious appeasement to get re elected,but still even after all those desperate attempts of vote bank politics,his chances of a 2nd term appears bleak.Yogi,by killing a brahmin criminal,was under fire from the community which is the 1st ranking in caste system.The same man who said caste is a good one knows how to manage it in the society.Since march we people are under strict lockdown,we supported it at first,now these Vijayan team is claiming upcoming months will be the most covid intensive ones,If someone says Vijayan managed covid better than Yogi Adityanath, then we keralites(who’ve got brains) will slit them
Bravo Shivam Vij…atleast somebody has the guts to call out the truth in India!!
Ah…. everyone’s favorite word to suddenly make everything they say plausible – data. Simply put some numbers and all is validated. How ridiculous. Look at the pathetic so called data that is given in this article. No numbers on how many people were surveyed, what the questions were, what scales were used. Nothing. Zilch. But, we will proudly present what we think are facts because hey – we have data. It cannot be more pathetic. No, I’m not in any way implying that Adityanath is great. He may very well be or he may not. But to give your numbers as data and try to convince people on how poorly he fairs shows how poorly you’ve done your homework. Also, just because the survey was based on subjectivity does not immediately mean that the answers were given based on political popularity. Please give people more credit. It is this very tendency to think of the general population as dumb and awe struck that make people like Shivam Vij the butt of jokes. Why should it be based only on popularity. If the CM has actually succeed in implementing some of what he has promised though not all, you will have some people who will be satisfied with him because he has managed to deliver what they need – though not all. This fact has nothing to do with popularity. It has everything to do with how efficient the man is or isn’t. Get out of your cocoon, and develop some unbiased objectivity first. The you can go ahead and think about commenting on a public figure who from where I sit is liked by people. If you want to make a convincing argument, you need to be intelligent first.
The common there in the India today MOTN, especially regarding PM Modi’s approval rating was:
23% thought outstanding on all issues
45-48% thought good on all issues
10% thought fair on all issues
For every issue it was a similar pattern. I do not mean to point it out as a criticism of MOTN or the survey. It just seems to suggest that the respondents had a blanket opinion on all issues rather than a nuanced take. It was very interesting to see that.
If it’s nonsense, why did you continue watching for 25 years?
Such a venomous man is this Shivam Vij. He is having burnol moment because Yogi Adityanath has been named the best chief minister and goes on to find non existant loopholes with his, as usual hollow, biased arguments. He himself is so much anti Modi, aanti BJP, anti Yogi and all that is associated with BJP but he is pointing fingers at India today’s survey. Had Raj Chengappa been with debate with this illiterate and venomous fellow he would have ripped him apart. A few mo ths ago Justice Markandeya Katju had ripped him apart and called him out for giving his own biased views rather than hard facts. He does that every third days. He has nothing to do with facts and figures. He goes on with his own views and needless to say every article revolves around Modi bashing. Probably he is the race to get noticed by congress high comman so that he can improve the quality of his life. If he feels Yogi Adityanath is the worst CM then so be it. No one, anyway expected him to give good ratings to Yogi. Point is India Today has taken the pains to do the survey which it does every January and August. But this man Shivam Vij like the lazy back bencher calls out names to people who work to bring out this survey. And all for his hate of one person, Modi. Pathetic.
The whole article is full of facts and figure if you cant read don’t blame the author
If you cant point a mistake in this article then don’t write such long wasteful comments.
Well said!
Le le is part of core manuwadi chaddi gang. The pervert mind ( full of cowdung) is basically Bahujan haters. No surprise that they celebrate Ajay Bisht.
Like most media outlets and celebrities, India Today is trying to fast track polishing it’s image by unabashed sycophancy.
In democracy you get the leaders you deserve but the way Indian media has completely submitted to brown nosing is stunning.
Shri Vij, I can smell something burning! I guess it must be difficult to digest that Yogi got better rating than what the almighty shri Vij would have given. 2 things I recommend to you.
1. Go to UP and ask the people there and you will be very surprised that people do think he is doing a great job
2. I also suggest that you have a word with your editor, who I think said atleast 6 times in his “ cut the clutter” on this very survey on how good, authentic and impartial this survey was.
Meanwhile back to the smell, try taking a dip in water to stop the burning
Interesting. He is expert on back smell especially when no one else is smelling.Perhaps years of smelling experience .
Interesting reading. However, how does core Hindu vote go to only one BJP chief minister and doesn’t get distributed to the rest of the BJP chief ministers.
Is there a scent of anti BJP’ism or is it anti India Today’ism.
I have been following print.in for a long time now , have seen fascinating facets of journalism exhibited by the team and moreover i see varying views of the team as well but one man has not changed a bit , shivam has been absolutely hammering on a same spot ever since he joined print while one can go on like this for a long time but it has become boring now.
Yes as Shekhar mentions that journalism is influenced by facts not the perception but Shivam is absolutely in grip of the perception he has towards
a. Modi
b. Yogi
c. Amit Shah
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna lays out what it means to be a Yogi:
“Fearlessness, purity of heart, perseverance in acquiring wisdom and in practicing yoga, charity, subjugation of the senses, performance of holy rites, study of the scriptures, self-discipline, straightforwardness; Noninjury, truthfulness, freedom from wrath, renunciation, peacefulness, nonslanderousness, compassion for all creatures, absence of greed, gentleness, modesty, lack of restlessness; Radiance of character, forgiveness, patience, cleanness, freedom from hate, absence of conceit—these qualities are the wealth of a divinely inclined person, O Descendant of Bharata.”
survey by India Today ( Done before 5th August 2020 ) or no survey, , it is very well known to all that at present day DEJECTED , DEFEATED AND DEMORALIZED Congress party or any of other political party or alliance of parties is not in a position to provide leadership to the country and the party –BJP and NDA alliance is only choice before people . Many of pro congress journalists in order to gain some more largasses from Congress party s coffers may pronounce it is due to TINA factor.I don t have any objection to their reasoning because they were/ are trained to see the thing only in binary of Ruling party and opposition party . No further need to go into reasons behind the hard facts .,, according to their brilliant minds — a 100 % performance by Modi is equal to 0 % or is in negative digits. according to Modi hating journalists ==People giving their positive opinions in surveys to Modi Government are mis-guided , influenced, prone to error and may be ignorant . The views of the common people even reflected by any agency doing surveys in generally accepted format is inconsequel if it showed results contrary to their own prejudiced mindset.
Thanks God survey was done prior to 5th August 2020 , other wise pro-dynasty journalists would have been under MUCH GREATER SHOCK .
“Shoe I am “you STUPIDO. BEST CHIEF MINISTER OF INDIA is in jail over corruption charges. As if corruption is a crime. We must win elections in Bihar and restore corruption and RIOTERS must be given important position. So instead of wasting your energies posing as a journalist start campaigning in Bihar. As you are aware my 50 years old babies life cannot be risked in this pandemic. MAMMAMIA
Sometimes seeing Bhakts’s reactions is somehow more satisfying.
What’re you all doing here? Poopindia and many right-wing portals need your viewership to survive.
Ur getting Ur money from Modi right. Ur more horrible than Republic TV and Amish devgun or was there a ED raid at Shekar Gupta’s house and office
Print who asked you to review on Yogi ji.
Ur media is totally biased, Anti Hindu, Anti national.
Don’t bark on every issue, now majority understand that who is with them and nation.
Gone were those days when people and media like you manipulate.
Now count your days, until Yogi ji become Next PM
Who asked for your biased opinion? Yogi Adityanath is the best CM in india. Bcz I am from Gujarat and I am a frequent visitor of UP since 2004, I have seen changes. Yogi Adityanath did a better work then Narendra Modi did in his tenure in Gujrat. ( I am not biased FYI)
I think paid artist survey go and search y he is no 1 then put the web am not agree with this post
Kitne pasia mile yogi se is article ko publish kar e ke liya ??? mene itna jhoot kabhi vi nahi pada salo andbhakt to tum log journalist ke name pe kalank ko. ???
According to print uddhav Thackeray is best CM and Yogi Adityanath is worst?? JOURNALISM LEVEL 10000000
Hindus should be asking why a nation of 1 billion Hindus could produce only a chai wallah with a forged degree, and a dirty yogi with a criminal record.
Now they imagine this Yogi is a Vivekananda, the next Hindu vishwa guru.
pakisthanis should not bother what hindus should ask. Modi and yogi is best to take action against terrorist like you
Ye google kb se jhoot batane lga akhir kis aadhar aap log merit de rahe ho mere samjh me nhi aa rha hai
Laga hi tha ki tumko hi ye baat hajam nahi hogi,

Which is the survey ?
I think the survey find who is the wrost cm in india…
Yup-mamtuddin
Thinking of taking Yogi to the centre? Sure, why not. Give him the defence ministry too. Thook dega China ko! He has garnered enough experience in UP.
YOgi is certainly a very good organiser and does not sit back on his haunches. But let us remember that one of the first things he did was use his clout as CM to withdraw several criminal cases that were pending investigation against him. So, he would be a good CM if there was no Constitution and laws were to be interpreted by him alone. Meanwhile several quiet performers like EPS, Patnaik and Vijayan are ignored.
Very good points !
What a joke
The print must have received lot of money.
Shame on such journalism.
Every thing they wrote was true journalism, which point can you point to and say its was shameful.
What India today did was not even Jurnalism.
stupid joker if you dont like true facts dont read the article . the print is an amazing media group unlike fake india today
Whatever the result, one thing is sure that ‘mood of the nation’ is altleast the mood of the CEO of India today.
” In other words, a respondent in Chennai can name Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi. And a respondent in Shimla can pick Uddhav Thackeray of Maharashtra as the best chief minister in India.”

You’re absolutely RIGHT.

Finally a balanced article.
If yogi is the best CM in country then the sacrifices of people like Gandhi, Ambedkar is gone in vain. He’s been best because of help of religion and temple.

We are already the most enlightened country Ram Rajya & economic powerhouse bringing Acche Din? Next, Modi will lead conquest of China.
Modi will be back in 2024, according to India Today poll.
If you go by international standards, Kerala CM Pinarayan is the best CM.
He controlled the Nipah virus some years back with under 10 deaths. He got an award by the WHO.
He was superlative in the organisation of flood relief. The spiteful Modi govt. blocked $ 800 million that the UAE offered as aid.
The Kerala CM and its health Minster Shailaja teacher have been commended by World Bank for the handling of Covid, with under 100 deaths.
Lastly, but most important, he did not allow the Sanghi fascists to create havoc in Kerala.
He or his govt. did not control Nipah , the health workers of hispitals dud it fir the state. Part of the Floid gavoc last year was man-made by his electricity minister ordering release of dam water too late. Lastly, WHO is a Chinese controlled organization and no one takes its utterances seriously now, after several blunders !
‘the health workers of hispitals dud it fir the state. ‘
At least, Kerala has a health care system, and a minister who got interviewed on BBC and who has been commended by WHO.
Kerala has even published its mitigation plan for rise of sea levels due to global warming. It seems to have people with real focus unlike gobar filled numskulls like Yogi.
Yogi could not handle Japanese encephalitis in his own constituency, and he gaoled the doctor because the media praised him.
Ok terrorist communist.. kerala producess maximum ISIS terroist, most of them goes outside to do labour work. law and order worst.

Good riddance….

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna lays out what it means to be a Yogi:
“Fearlessness, purity of heart, perseverance in acquiring wisdom and in practicing yoga, charity, subjugation of the senses, performance of holy rites, study of the scriptures, self-discipline, straightforwardness; Noninjury, truthfulness, freedom from wrath, renunciation, peacefulness, nonslanderousness, compassion for all creatures, absence of greed, gentleness, modesty, lack of restlessness; Radiance of character, forgiveness, patience, cleanness, freedom from hate, absence of conceit—these qualities are the wealth of a divinely inclined person, O Descendant of Bharata.”
I presume in your eyes the Yogi has all these qualities despite having criminal charges.
Better than your Osama Bin laden.
The discussion is about the dirty Yogi.

survey by India Today ( Done before 5th August 2020 ) or no survey, , it is very well known to all that at present day DEJECTED , DEFEATED AND DEMORALIZED Congress party or any of other political party or alliance of parties is not in a position to provide leadership to the country and the party –BJP and NDA alliance is only choice before people . Many of pro congress journalists in order to gain some more largasses from Congress party s coffers may pronounce it is due to TINA factor.I don t have any objection to their reasoning because they were/ are trained to see the thing only in binary of Ruling party and opposition party . No further need to go into reasons behind the hard facts .,, according to their brilliant minds — a 100 % performance by Modi is equal to 0 % or is in negative digits. according to Modi hating journalists ==People giving their positive opinions in surveys to Modi Government are mis-guided , influenced, prone to error and may be ignorant . The views of the common people even reflected by any agency doing surveys in generally accepted format is inconsequel if it showed results contrary to their own prejudiced mindset.
Thanks God survey was done prior to 5th August 2020 , other wise pro-dynasty journalists would have been under MUCH GREATER SHOCK .
This is mood of the nation.. Not mood of the state survey 🙂
“Shoe I am “you STUPIDO. BEST CHIEF MINISTER OF INDIA is in jail over corruption charges. As if corruption is a crime. We must win elections in Bihar and restore corruption and RIOTERS must be given important position. So instead of wasting your energies posing as a journalist start campaigning in Bihar. As you are aware my 50 years old babies life cannot be risked in this pandemic. MAMMAMIA
Sad for journalism. No wonder today’s TOI carries two page advertisement on UP Government.
Sometimes seeing Bhakts’s reactions is somehow more satisfying.
