26 OCTOBER 2019

Voters put economics Subhani over fear of the other n the end, the cross-border shelling the night before the voting in these elections — to two state Assemblies, two Lok Sabha seats and 51 Assembly constituencies — was not enough to appeal to the national- Iism of two of India’s martial communities — Maharashtra’s Marathas and Haryana’s Jats. One of the Congress’ key electoral puzzles involves these dominant intermediate castes. And yet they taught the BJP a lesson, even if the ruling party returns with Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Manohar Lal Khattar. (Mr Khattar, a dry party apparatchik, will find his unstable minority government severely tested in the coming months.) For instance, Ajit Pawar won Baramati by over 1,65,000 votes — the kind of margin seen in parliamentary contests, not Assembly fights. In Haryana, the BJP’s vote share plummeted from 58 per cent in May to 36.3 per cent now. That the BJP was shaken up was evident from the gloat- free celebratory speeches and rapidly-darting eyes of its top leaders on Thursday evening. The BJP knows it Their continuous claptrap on Article 370 left LETTERS is badly-placed in the voters unimpressed; the latter were more Jharkhand, while concerned about the economic winter ahead.
