There is no dearth of analysis on the elections, based on caste combinations, unemployment, nationalism and what not. Unfortunately, the most important factor in the elections; money, is barely mentioned in any discussions. BJP has at least a five to one advantage over its rivals in any election. I live in the US and here, any political analyst first mentions the money available for each candidate in any race. It is the most important indicator of who will win.
Of course, the rest of the media gets a cut from that pie, but Newslaundry is not part of this game. I believe the role of money and its hidden sources should be part of every election analysis.
