It does not find evidence of any significant role of changes in voter age distribution, media exposure, private benefits received from development and welfare programmes administered by local governments, or the vote-generating effectiveness of such programmes. A more important role was played by voter dissatisfaction with local leaders on corruption and lack of involvement in the provision of education services, and with non-local leaders on attitudes towards women, the poor, and local communities. - Reproduced.  aElections  aEconomic and Political Weekly  aN  a103505  c103501d103501  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 49, Issue no: 11pAR103965r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
