'Higher Women Turnout Gives Edge To Pinarayi Vijayan Over UDF In Kerala': Yashwant Deshmukh

While higher turnout has often been interpreted as anti-incumbency, recent data suggests a shift in this pattern. Kerala, in particular, may challenge this assumption. In TOI’s Mood Of The States, political analyst and C-Voter Founder-Director Yashwant Deshmukh argues that increased participation, especially among women voters, could work in favour of the incumbent government led by Pinarayi Vijayan.
