I agree entirely with our Rajan on this. Rajan Narayan is talking through his hat, had Rajan Parrikar actually done the survey 80 percent would have voted for MP as Goa's Youth Icon and not 28 percent as indicated by the TOI Survey. So RN is way off the mark as usual :-)
RN's logic is bizarre too, he interprets the survey negatively to write that 72 percent of Goans do not consider Manohar Parrikar as an icon. Obviously, RN ignores the fact that a large number from the balance 72 percent who may not have voted for Parrikar as their No 1 icon could possibly have placed him in their No 2 or No 4 or No 10 icon slot. I however would not give too much importance to surveys like these. Surveys conducted with minuscule samples like these are in no way just and proper indications. Cheers Sandeep
