Another Election Show: What’s the pulse of Bengal’s youth? On Modi, corruption, development
In West Bengal’s Hooghly, the BJP’s Locket Chatterjee and Trinamool Congress candidate Rachna Banerjee are locking horns in a fierce poll battle. The constituency is one of the seven Lok Sabha seats in the state that are set to vote on May 20.
In this episode of Another Election Show, Newslaundry reached Hooghly’s Chandernagore Government College to understand the pulse of the state’s youth and the issues that matter to them. The students spoke about triple talaq, women’s safety, Manipur violence and the Sandeshkhali controversy.
The students said development has taken place under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government but corruption has also increased. Some others said both inequality and GDP have increased.
