On Monday, Haryana and Maharashtra are going to vote. Economy, farmer distress, unemployment, drought, poverty are the major issues that the public of these two states have been talking about but what we have heard all through election campaigning is a discourse around the abrogation of Article 370 in Kashmir, implementation of Assam's NRC all over the country and only very recently, the promise of giving Bharat Ratna to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. On We The People, we ask just one simple question. Are local issues dead in elections? The problems may exist in real life, but do they simply not matter when voters go out and vote?
