Live Mint  

If anti-incumbency is a phenomenon, Rajasthan is the proof. But as a share of India’s total GDP, Rajasthan has hovered around 5% in the past five years, slightly less than its share in India’s population. Rajasthan’s significant growth in recent years came under the previous Ashok Gehlot-led Congress regime, where GDP grew by 7% CAGR between 2008-13 and its share in India’s GDP rose from 4.4% to 5%. However, over the last five years, Rajasthan’s industrial output has remained around 5% of Indian output. For wheat, a major crop in Rajasthan, total procurement from the state was less than 5% of India’s total procurement this past season, despite Rajasthan producing on average around 9% of wheat in India.The areas most affected by this farmer angst are also the poorest areas of the state.
