As India entered 2019- the year of major electoral action, the political circles are buzzing with speculations surrounding the constituencies the major player would contest from.

He further said that there is 90% possibility that the Prime Minister may contest from Puri. In this show, we will try and examine how the numbers will possibly be affected if Modi decides to contest from the Odisha’s beach town.
