A Day With Rahul Gandhi's Enemy*
Join us at Wayanad!
My colleague Rajesh is quite new to journalism. He's (was?) a civil service aspirant who had come our way about a year or so ago.
How Rajesh reports for you: He's the one having most fun this election season with all the traveling, meeting candidates and filing some incredibly insightful reports.
There's a lot of quotes he gathers in the course of 3-4 days he spends in the constituency around the campaign.
All the quotes, insights and pictures are nicely strung together to
produce a coherent narrative for you - a 'slice of life' report.
And then he packs off to the next destination - fun (in a sense) at company expense.
What he brought back from Wayanad: A day or two with BJP candidate K Surendran, an interaction with the CPI candidate and insights from over 50 localities who will have voted today!
Insights include: what are K Surendran's chances? 2 lakh votes? Less than a lakh?
Which is the 'vote bank' that actually backs Surendran this election?
And why Wayanad's demography will easily reward Rahul Gandhi.
Strongly recommend reading Rajesh's report from Wayanad. Write to us about what you think.
Amar Govindarajan.
* Apropos the subject: The founder of this magazine labelled communists his enemy number one! K Surendran does become Mr Gandhi's enemy by Rajaji's standards.
