The ongoing Lok Sabha election is dominated by the question of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s potential third term. However, three key ‘mini narratives’ are also shaping the electoral landscape: women voters, youth unemployment, and concerns among Scheduled Castes (SCs).

SCs are anxiously watching issues like reservations and the decline of the Bahujan Samaj Party.
