Update: 2024-10-09
Description
All the exit polls had favoured a Congress victory in the Haryana assembly elections. But defying these predictions, the BJP has secured a clear mandate, winning 48 seats in the 90-member assembly.
How did the BJP manage to beat a strong anti-incumbency factor, not to mention issued such as the farmers’ protests, and the Brij Bhushan sexual harassment issue? What went wrong for the Congress? And what was the nature of the social coalition that carried the day?
Guest: Rahul Verma, political analyst and fellow at the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi.
Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu.
