HP BJP survey sees Vajpayee as biggest issue

A BJP survey in Himachal Pradesh has found that the magic of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is yet to be broken in the state.

According to the survey done in the recent past, Vajpayee will prove to be more appealing and effective in the state than the issues of Hindutva, Sonia's foreign origin, corruption or even development.

The survey shows that 72 per cent of the voters like Vajpayee, primarily because the BJP-led government at the Centre has given Rs 1,200 crore worth of development packages to the state so far.
