🗳️ Inside Rajasthan's election drama
Dear reader,
Let's talk about the Rajasthan elections, happening tomorrow. It's like a political thriller, trust me.
The state is unique because, among many other reasons, it is split into different regions, each with its own mix of communities. This makes the election super unpredictable - it's like every area has its own mini-election!
What's cool is that no single community dominates statewide. It's a mix and match of votes (for example, Jats in the east) making the outcome anyone's guess.
CM Ashok Gehlot senses a 'Congress wave' in the state, but Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat dismisses it. Who's right? That's the million-dollar question!
Gehlot claims a resurgent Congress, even after recent political upheavals, vowing revenge for the attempted toppling of his government. On the flip side, Shekhawat reminds us of the 2013 electoral landslide that crushed the Congress, hinting that Gehlot may be misreading the political vibes.
On the eve of polling, let's take a quick look at what the field of play looks like in the state.
