Uttarakhand Election: Why BJP Has An Edge, And What Could Work For Congress
An early look at the Uttarakhand election battle points to an advantage for the BJP, with Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami emerging as a key factor. But is the ruling party's position as comfortable as it appears? A panel examines the BJP's organisational strength, the impact of anti-incumbency and the issues that could shape the contest. For Congress, unemployment, inflation, women's security and the Ankita Bhandari case could offer a route to challenge the BJP. The discussion also examines the possibility of a polarisation-driven campaign and the role of national leadership in the election.
