Women voters now matter much more than before: Prannoy Roy

The Hindu  

Veteran journalist and psephologist Prannoy Roy recently co-authored a book, ‘The Verdict: Decoding India’s Elections’, with Dorab R. Sopariwala. And invariably in Lok Sabha elections, each State votes differently and the final result in an election is the combination of ‘landslides’ and results at the State level that could counteract each other. In U.P., even if the vote shares are exactly as in 2014, just a combination of these two parties, the BSP and SP, could reduce the BJP’s tally from 73 to half of that. And it is not a very difficult thing to forecast because in the Assembly elections, women’s turnout is now higher than men already. One of the reasons is — and many pollsters are worried this time as well — the ‘play safe’ factor among voters when they are responding to questions.
