The Maharani graciously announces the name of the winner, who happens to be a commoner.
A princess from another kingdom occupies the runner-up slot along with another plebeian.
The puppeteer has used the skills of a chess master to get the vote-bank arithmetic right. There is no choice, especially when national elections are around the corner.
The masses celebrate because the winner has risen from grassroots to Chief Minister of a State and they see an empathetic ruler.
Royalty loses steam in the dance-off, as public admiration and media hype are not considered enough. They need to rule votes.

A win for the people (and a little extra dance talent). Both sharp and witty fun!

Let’s see what she has negotiated for. Jhalawar international airport is a project she has been chasing.

ED of course, because there are corruption cases against her son. She helped Lalit Modi to leave the country. Somehow, the Congress CM did not launch investigations against her despite several requests from Sachin Pilot.
