Putting ban on
opinion poll would not be in national interest. It would generate unemployment in the country. Many institutions would become bankrupt. Such ban will not affect the
freedom of expression. Such ban is necessary in
matured democracy like India. The demand of such bans also shows that
psephology has been matured in India. Besides,
News channels would lose their TRP as well as advertisements, from such ban . Political parties would deprive from
feel good of seeing wave in their party's favour.They would not be able in seeing the
rosy picture of their parties' performance in opinion polls. People would lose healthy entertainment from ban on opinion polls. Opinion polls reflect reality.
Neutrality and objectivity of these opnion polls have been beyond doubt. Motives of opinion polls are not to
manipulate voters' mind, instead they want to show people' mood. Allegations against these opinion polls that by taking money they show the wave in a particular party's favour, are baseless. Predictions of the most of opinion polls, have been true till the date. They adopt
scientific methods in their surveys like US. Besides, the ban would further deepen the economic crisis in the country.
The ruling Congress is favouring ban so that opnion polls have shown dismal performance of the party in the coming states election and as well as parliamentary election. The party views should not be taken seriously, because it is politically motivated step of the party.
