Varanasi to Vadodara: should netas fight from two seats?

As the BJP decides to field Narendra Modi from Vadodara and Varanasi, The Buck Stops Here broadcasts from Assi Ghat in Varanasi. We debate: Should politicians be contesting two seats? Is it a misuse of electoral process and a waste of public money? And are netas looking for a 'safe' seat or widening their appeal by contesting two seats?

Chai Stop: one neta, two seats

On the most volatile Chai Stop, from the campus of Banaras Hindu University, we ask students what they think of politicians contesting from more than one seat.
