You should watch: This discussion in ThePrint on the importance of Uttar Pradesh in Indian elections—and why Rahul Gandhi chose to contest from Raebareli instead of his other family bastion in Amethi.
Why it’s worth your time: A view from the ground in Raebareli and Amethi—where Gandhis are still prominent figures for the local population, unlike popular belief. Also, watch it for interesting little-known facts. For instance, the BJP candidate from Raebareli was actually the campaign manager for Sonia Gandhi for over a decade!
Bonus Pick #1: A group of college students from Galgotia University gathered around the Congress headquarters earlier this week to protest against Congress’ alleged promise of introducing an inheritance tax. However, when Aaj Tak reporter Ashutoush Sharma asked them some basic questions on the protest—it became the perfect tragicomic video. FYI: This clip from the 2005 movie ‘Bunty aur Babli’ perfectly represents these ‘student protesters’.
Bonus Pick #2: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra gave an impassioned speech on the sacrifices of the Gandhi family over the years for the country. It’s one of the more impactful speeches from this election season and a must-watch.
