The villager who has been a traditional Congress voter can be heard lamenting that Rahul Gandhi has done no work till date and never paid a visit after December 2014.
Despite acknowledging that Rahul Gandhi has failed to do any work, the villager stated that he would, like in the past, vote for the Congress itself.
Other voters, like a vegetable seller who has traditionally been Congress supporters though has openly declared that he would vote for Prime Minister Narendra Modi this time round.
Meet this traditional Congress voter, a Dalit, who has never voted for the BJP in his life but will do so in 2019 because "Modi ji ne hamara ghar bhar diya". Listen how. pic.twitter.com/rRZCxLbFC5

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
