Mathura's electoral battle takes center stage, fueled by youth angst over unemployment woes. Though the BJP swept Mathura in 2019 with Hema Malini's victory, new alliances have injected uncertainty into the landscape. Amidst high-voltage campaigns, the city's lanes witness intense political outreach, from door-to-door canvassing to rallies, reflecting the stakes. Political narratives vie to capture hearts and minds in Mathura's bustling marketplaces, where economic aspirations lie untapped.
Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra takes a closer look.

00:00 So here we are in the city of Mathura, election bound constituency.
00:04 Hema Malini is the name that comes to our mind.
00:07 And look at the city.
00:09 What a better way other than to board a battery rickshaw which has become the norm of every
00:15 religious city that you talk about.
00:17 Be it Ayodhya, be it Mathura, Vrindavan or any other part of the country.
00:22 It is very important as of now to preserve also the sanctity of the place.
00:28 Right behind these buildings that you see, those two twin towers, are the Krishna Janma
00:35 Bhumi temple and the Idgar, the contentious Idgar which we have seen making headlines.
00:43 But in this part of the city which is the main road leading to the exact temple complex,
00:51 there are three entry gates to the temple complex and all of them are heavily, and when
00:56 I say heavily, I really mean it, heavily guarded by police.
01:00 Keeping in mind that the issue of the Idgar is subjudicate, but life goes on in the backyard
01:08 of the temple.
01:09 You see people going about their daily affairs, buying vegetables, a lot of workshops also
01:17 here as any other city you would see.

01:28 will also end and needless to say the city is racing for election, choosing the next
01:35 candidate, the Lok Sabha candidate from here.
01:39 Now India Alliance has put up a candidate against Hema Malini and Hema Malini who has
01:46 been a sitting MP, two times sitting MP from here, will try and garner as much support
01:52 as possible.

02:02 to the temple complex.
