Election 2024: This time both the summer season and the election season have come together. In such a situation, this time there will be sweat on the forehead of both the voter and the voter. But do you know that the weather can affect the election results this time. This is the belief of Ranchi’s famous geologist Nitish Priyadarshi. In a special conversation with BollywoodWallah, he shared this information about what effect the weather will have on the Lok Sabha elections. So let us also know how the heat wave will affect the political wave.
Election 2024: Heat will increase problems for voters
According to experts, if the weather is adverse at the time of elections, then less people will come out of their homes to vote. Excessive heat can confine people indoors. In such a situation, there can be a deep impact on the voting percentage. Geologist Nitish Priyadarshi also said that depending on the mentality of a person the day before, it is possible to change his decision. He said that if a person is upset or angry due to some problem a day before voting, then it is possible that his vote may go to someone else.
Election 2024: Weather can become a crisis
Generally it is seen that with the change in weather, many new problems are also seen. The biggest problems during the summer season are electricity, water and heat. Nitish Priyadarshi also said that if people have to face these problems then it is possible that their attitude may change towards one political party. It is common for people’s mentality to change for some time due to current problems. In such a situation, if people have to face water crisis, electricity crisis and other problems during the summer season, it can become a problem for political parties as well.

Then as the day progresses, the pace of the election process suddenly increases. In such a situation where heat wave is going on in many areas, people want to vote in less time. The expert also said that if it happens that the weather is bad then it can have a deep impact on the voting percentage and election results.
