As election season arrives in India, we thought this was a good time to revisit our conversation about understanding the Indian voter. Listen in to this week’s Puliyabaazi as Rahul Verma, Fellow at Centre for Policy Research, joins us to discuss the changing trends in Indian elections.
क्या भारतीय वोटर आर्थिक मुद्दे पर बटा है? क्या भारत में राजनैतिक ध्रुवीकरण बढ़ा है? भारत में चुनाव की चर्चा झोर पकड़ रही है, तो हमने सोचा क्यों न इस विषय पर एक विशेषज्ञ से ही बात की जाय। सुनिए इस हफ़्ते पुलियाबाज़ी पर चुनाव पर चर्चा राहुल वर्मा के साथ।
