A higher share of the young disapprove of recent government actions such as those relating to the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC)

For the old faithful of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), 2019 is a year to remember and cherish. It brought the BJP back to power with a thumping majority, and saw the new government take decisive steps to fulfil long-standing promises of the party: the abolition of Article 370 and the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The former granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir before getting revoked last year, while the latter introduced a religious angle to India’s citizenship law. The Supreme Court’s verdict on Ram Mandir was the icing on the cake for the committed BJP voter.

But if these events made the BJP popular among the old, they have also divided the youth. Fresh data from the YouGov-Mint-CPR Millennial Survey shows that disapproval for the current government’s core ideological agenda is far higher among the youth than among the old, at least in urban India. The youth are also more worried about the state of the Indian economy. Unsurprisingly then, BJP’s support among the urban youth today is significantly lower than its support among the older generations.

Among the urban youth, a majority felt that the removal of Article 370 was a step in the right direction. But those who felt that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) or the CAA were steps in the right direction were in a minority.
