MUMBAI: Just ahead of the 2019 General Election, elections in MP, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram are being billed as a litmus test for various political parties which will set the tone for the national elections next year. Amidst all the high crescendo campaigning for these critical state elections, News18 India’s much acclaimed show “Bhaiyaji Kahin” will travel to Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh to capture on-ground realities and voters’ views on pressing issues that they face.  A travelogue-cum-chaupal, the innovative show is designed to bring together people, leaders and opinion leaders together for a meaningful debate.

The show anchored by Prateek Trivedi, Bhaiyaji Kahin had visited these states earlier as well with a view to understand people’s perception and expectations. At the time the show had held discussions on key issues including inflation, farmer suicides, corruption, incumbency, united opposition, voting on caste basis, to name a few. This time around, it aims to cover additional cities with in-depth and extensive reportage on various voter priorities in the immediate lead up to the elections. Starting from 29th bOctober, the show will travel to  Raipur, Bilaspur, Durg in Chhattisgarh; Bharatpur, Udaipur, Jaisalmer, Alwar, Jaipur, Bikaner etc. in Rajasthan and Gwalior, Jabalpur, Sagar, Damoh, Satna etc. in Madhya Pradesh. As always it will in its own unique style capture street side conversations which will not only allow the common voters to have a say but will also give a ring side view of voter aspirations.
