It is everybody’s knowledge that an educated electorate elects the best of the candidates.
The politicians play suitable gimmicks depending on the electorate they are dealing with, for example, for unban electorate, more and more jobs and better education are promised, and for rural electorate, more and more agricultural subsidies and better health facilities are promised.
When there is a negative voting tendency in the electorate, the opposition party is sure to win.
