Jan Ki Baat Prediction
90% Probability Sonia Gandhi will lose Rae Bareli
Swing factor 1: 60% Women sampled support Prime Minister Narendra Modi for welfare.
Swing factor 2: 65% Youth sampled, support PM Modi. They want development akin to Varanasi in RaeBareli.
Causating factor 1: Sonia Gandhi’s physical inaccessability in Constituency
Causating factor 2: Ram Mandir in Ayodhya has drifted 4% erstwhile Congress voters.
Pradeep’s Psephological Take
The people in RaeBareli want change. They want vikas. They see development surplus in Varanasi and feel development deprivation in RaeBareli. Only if BJP fields a very weak candidate, & conducts a limited campaign, & avoids booth to booth mapping can Gandhi family retain RaeBareli. Victory of Congress in RaeBareli will depend on BJP, not Congress.
