00:01 - Hello, this is Rakhi Bose,
00:03 Assistant Editor with Outlook.
00:04 I am part of Outlook's ground coverage team
00:07 for the Lok Sabha 2024 elections.
00:09 For the first phase of elections,
00:10 I will be visiting Uttar Pradesh.
00:12 Eight seats are going to polls on April 19th
00:15 in the first phase of elections.
00:16 The seats are in Western UP
00:18 and Uttar Pradesh is an interesting state
00:20 because it sends 80 MPs to the Lok Sabha
00:23 and it's one of the biggest states politically
00:25 in the country.
00:26 Usually the state politics revolves around
00:28 caste and religion, but there are other issues,
00:30 for instance, unemployment, farmers issues
00:33 that at this time going to have an impact.
00:35 I'm hoping to speak to the people there
00:37 and get a voice from the ground.
00:39 What kind of political alignments are taking place?
00:41 What are the people looking for?
00:43 What kind of changes people want in the region?
00:45 Watch this space for more.
