Editor's pick of the day - The Role of Anti-Incumbency in the Upcoming Assembly Polls

Toto, we are not in 2018 anymore. We are in a pre-general-election year, and very firmly in state assembly polls year. Only recently, we discussed the state of five states going into elections this coming November-December.

In our Pick of the Day, we take a look at what role anti-incumbency may be playing in the three big states where we are set to witness a head-to-head battle between the BJP and the Congress. Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have had BJP rule for the past fifteen years, and Rajasthan for five years now. An early opinion poll seems to suggest the tide is turning in favour of the Congress in all these three states.
