Anna campaign will reduce corruption, says poll


Most Indians seem to believe that the campaign launched by Gandhian Anna Hazare will hit corruption in the country, says a nationwide opinion poll.
At the same time, most of the nearly 2,000 respondents quizzed in 10 cities felt the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government was ‘the most corrupt government ever’.
Only 27 percent were sceptical of achieving positive results in eliminating corruption.
Only 30 percent thought otherwise while 12 percent had no opinion.
Asked which state government was the least corrupt, 40 percent voted for Gujarat followed by Bihar (17 percent) and Kerala (8 percent).
Maharashtra, Delhi and Rajasthan figured low down in the order, with barely four-to-five percent speaking in their favour.
The poll was conducted in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Kochi, Jaipur and Bhubaneshwar among nearly 2,000 respondents, mostly drawn from the middle classes. The poll was conducted between April 20 and 29.
