Role of the leadership factor in the Rajasthan verdict

The Hindu  

In Rajasthan, the Congress campaign revolved around Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and he was understood to be the party’s CM face. Among BJP voters, less than one-third referred to Ms. Raje as their preferred choice and a little over one-sixth referred to Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. Mr. Gehlot thus was the favoured choice of Congress supporters while Ms. Raje had a limited appeal among BJP voters. A little less than one of every three Congress voters kept in mind the Chief Minister candidate when deciding whom to vote for. More Congress voters felt that the announcement of Sachin Pilot as the chief ministerial face of the party would not have made a difference on the vote choice.
