And the crown goes to …..

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.
