This already looks like a shoddy & a biased report. It appears a purposeful attempt to malign Modi’s image, Modi is revered in India because of the work he has put in before anything else like instilling a sense of Nationalism & Hindutva.
The audience where this survey is conducted is already suspect as to the information (misinformation) available to the individuals.
Firstly, the thought & stories of Lynchings of the Muslims in India by the Cow vigilantism is a thing of the past ( stray incidences given much credence by the opposition) & the Govt of the day & the party BJP has totally stopped Cow vigilantism & in fact encouraged Meat processing business that in turn has vastly enhanced the Meat export. ( figs are available in the public domain)
Secondly, the stories of assassination attempts by (alleged) Indian Agencies on Foreign soil in the US & Canada are not proven yet ( no evidence, only titbits provided) The individuals in question ( on whom the assassination was allegedly attempted) are first rate criminals/terrorists escaped from the Indian shores & law enforcement agencies & against whom there are Interpole Red Corner notices issued.
Thirdly,, what business it is of anyone where Mr Kejriwal is arrested ? The arrest is due to criminal corruption charges where there is enough evidence. Is Mr Kejriwal a foreign national ? Then how it concerns the candidates of the surveys ??
All these points mentioned in this report only gives it a colour of a ” Narrative Building” excercise & that too a futile one. The powers, at whose behest these surveys were conducted & the report were written have clearly wasted their efforts & money.
There is no dearth of Modi haters, they have made a career loathing Modi since 2002. If they have to burn the country down in order to express their hatred for Modi, the ecosystem is more than willing to do the same.
