Hello! I'm Diksha Yadav, host of Swarajya's podcast shows. Today, I'm writing to discuss our ongoing coverage of themes and constituencies that warrant attention in the media narrative this election season.
As part of our election season ground reporting project, we've covered about a dozen themes in the last couple of weeks. Here are some of them:
1. From UP's Pilibhit: Around 40,000 Bengali Hindu refugees have been residing in 23 villages near UP's Pilibhit, some since the late 1950s. They seek citizenship, pinning their hopes on Modi in light of the CAA.
2. From The Northeast: How Meiteis displaced from Manipur’s Kuki-dominated hills see hope in lok sabha elections
3. Is there's a path to victory for Annamalai in Coimbatore?
4. Ground report from Rajasthan: Dausa has got an expressway; It now awaits water
5. How The Jashpur Royals Are Driving Ghar Wapsi In Chhattisgarh
This is just a brief relook at our coverage in our 2024 election season ground reporting project. We hope you like the nature and form of our current reportage.

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.
