What post poll numbers tell us about the elections, and how our politics is evolving | The Hindu In Focus Podcast
We recorded this episode to coincide with a series of articles that we will carry in The Hindu over the course of this week explaining the verdicts in the four States \u2014 West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam \u2014 and the Union Territory of Puducherry that went to the polls in March-April 2021. These articles are part of post poll survey done by the polling and research organisation, CSDS-Lokniti that tracks the specificities in each State that shaped the result. These post poll surveys have been a feature of our recent election coverage and allow us to reflect on the data and piece together a larger trajectory of how politics in the country is evolving.\nYou can read more from that series, which started on May 4, here. But over the course of the conversation today we\u2019ll go over some aspects of the voter data that we have, both from the CSDS poll as well as from the research that out data team here at the Hindu has done and we hope it\u2019ll help you go beyond the headlines of the recently concluded elections.\nGuest: Srinivasan Ramani, Deputy National Editor, The Hindu
