The overwhelming participation of women voters seen in long queues in the rural areas on polling day on Monday has given a lot of hope for the ruling party to improve its strength from three seats in the 2019 elections.
An analysis of party strategists has given them positive indications that the Congress is likely to gain from women participation who are generally tilted towards the government, which is just four months old, according to a senior leader.
The voting percentage increased quite drastically in several constituencies from 3% to 5%, which is quite significant given the heat conditions. The final polling figures are yet to be released officially but the increase is quite prominent in the rural constituencies compared to 2019 elections. Urban constituencies have seen marginal increase.
