Development & Votes in these Elections: 5-part series

Add comment12 May 20141 min readby Vinay Sitapati

I’ve spent the last 1.5 months writing a 5-part election series for the Indian Express, called “Vikas Vote”. I travel to constituencies across India which have seen big improvements in one development indicator each. I ask if that is translating into votes? The links are given below.

Part 1: HEALTH in Hazaribagh (Jharkhand)

Part 2: NREGA in Tiruvannamalai (Tamil Nadu)

Part 3: ELECTRICITY in Panchmahals (Gujarat)

Part 4: SCHOOLS in Ghazipur (Uttar Pradesh)

Part 5: ROADS in West Champaran (Bihar)
