BJP's Path To 2019: Development Or Polarisation?
from The Big Fight Hosted by Vikram Chandra

Or should we view the leader from Gorakhpur as the new face of development? After the BJP's astounding victory in UP, ministers had harped on the development plan.

With over two years to go before the general election in 2019, all eyes are on the newly-elected Chief Minister and the path he will take.
