As Bihar elections loom, parties are trying to replicate the winning formula: raining down freebies in the hopes of converting them into votes and seats. Congress has promised Rs 2,500 per month to poor women in Bihar, something that is being offered in Maharashtra, Delhi and other parts of the country. But can Bihar, a state with fewer resources, make good on this promise. Watch the conversation with Professor NR Bhanumurthy, director, Madras School of Economics and Paras Jasrai, associate director, India Ratings and Research.
Delhi outgoing Chief Minister and AAP Candidate from Kalkaji assembly constituency Atishi celebrated her victory in Delhi after registering her victory against BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri on February 08. “I thank the people of Kalkaji for showing trust in me.

The New Delhi constituency, which recorded a voter turnout of 56.41% on February 5, is a key seat known for its diverse electorate and fiercely contested elections. This constituency is witnessing a high-stakes poll battle with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal pitted against Parvesh Verma and Sandeep Dixit -- both sons of two former chief ministers. For the Congress, the contest with Kejriwal is a prestige battle given that it was Sandeep Dikshit's mother and incumbent CM Sheila Dikshit who was defeated from here. The stakes are high for Kejriwal who has already won this seat thrice but faces headwinds over his alleged involvement in graft cases. The BJP, which has never won the seat since 1977, is hoping to send a big message by defeating the former CM from the high-profile seat.
AAP chief and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faced a stunning defeat in his New Delhi stronghold, losing to BJP's Parvesh Verma, son of a former Chief Minister, by 3,182 votes. This marks a dramatic setback for the IAS officer-turned-politician who rose to fame through Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement. Watch here for more details
