Disturbing news coming from eastern UP. One of the cars in convoy of Karn bhushan singh, son of Braj Bhushan saran singh , runs over two youth on a bike. Braj Bhushan is facing allegations of sexual harassment from wrestlers.

Food canteen politics. On a day when

promises 10 kg of food grain in comparison to
@BJP4India
offering 5Kg food grain, we travel to a food canteen in deep Haryana hinterland. How much do you pay for two rotis, a plate of rice , dal and sabzi?

As we move now towards 5th phase , you may start hearing one word a lot more. “parivaarvaad “. What’s the reality of this word? Does it really matter in rumble-tumble of Indian politics?

Now, photo of Sonia Gandhi on a Reliance aircraft. This after Modi’s old picture inside an Adani plane was circulated.
But is it really the place of businesses and corporates to be used to settle political and electoral scores?

Do join. Some fascinating insights coming up from multiple field trips across India. Data which will explain just why this election started off as one minus the spark but is now gearing up to becoming one where emotions will get surcharged by the day.
#LokSabhaElctions2024
in Purvanchal, people are clearly looking at all claims being made by everyone more closely. But 2 things you will hear the most , Heat and Inflation. Everything else is around these two factors only. Something for policy makers to think really hard about.
#LokSabhaElections2024
Another gem from
#Varanasi
. Is there any link between long power cuts, extreme heat and any potential voting preferences? That’s why people often get confused in terms of what they hear and what actually happens at voting time.

280 out of 428 seats have seen a drop in polling percentages as per the data released by

for first 5 phases. Add an average 10% drop in Delhi voting percentages across 7 Lok sabha seats. Most negative sentiment was clearly across first 2 phases.
