An Election Diary
An Election Diary is a revealing glimpse into the 2019 electoral campaign of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the suburban constituency of Phulpur in Northern India.

Infrastructural issues plaguing the constituency are deflected with appeals to India's glowing international image and dissolved in a cult of personality.
