The Bihar election results have delivered a major blow to the Congress, particularly to Rahul Gandhi, whose Voter Adhikar Yatra covered 1,300 km across 25 districts earlier this year. Designed to amplify his allegation of “vote theft” by the BJP and the Election Commission, the yatra was positioned as a mass-awareness campaign similar to his earlier Bharat Jodo initiatives. However, despite passing through 110 assembly constituencies, not a single seat along the yatra route is currently s

Exit polls had indicated growing support for the NDA among these communities, and the final results affirmed that trend with remarkable clarity. Notably, the Kurmi and Koeri com

One of Jagan Mohan Reddy's notable miscalculations during the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections was the inconsistent distribution of MLA and MP tickets under the guise of social engineering. A particularly glaring example occurred in the Narsaraopeta parliamentary elections, where Jagan's decision to send Nellore's Anil Kumar Yadav proved disastrous. Following Lavu Krishna Devarayulu’s exit from the YCP to join the TDP, Jagan was determined to defeat him. In a bid to a
