It is pandemic time across the globe and at the same time, Kerala in southern India will see the LSG elections aka Panchayath elections next week.

Elections usually are like celebrations, filled with colours and noise, but now it's gloomy and people aren't even aware if there are elections or not.   Unlike every time, we usually discuss upon a post-election lot of post-election analysis, the big numbers and politics, this time we will keep it as simple as possible.
