by just 135 votes. In 2013, Ramlal riding of Modi wave was elected with a record margin. However, what has made this election interesting is the addition of nearly 37,000 first time voters. Although the total electorate consist of Jat, Yadav, Brahman and Saini, the third front candidate has disrupt established social engineering equations for both the dominant political parties.
These castes constitute a considerable percentage of around 2,20,500 voters residing 38 gram panchayats, which include 1,15,000 male, 1,05,000 females. So, only the time will tell whether the residents of Chomu reverse the trend of election an MLA alternately or this time they will rewrite the history.
