Appendix 4. Digvijay Singh in Madhya Pradesh, India: Supplementing Political Institutions to Promote Inclusion.

Abstract

This appendix (to the project 'Politiking for the Poor: Senior Leaders' Political Management of Pro-Poor Initiatives in an era of Centrists') examines the record of a politician who pursued poverty reduction in a large state in India's federal system. After explaining the political, social and developmental context, it introduces the leader in question and then moves on to an analysis of his overall political strategy. It then considers several of the specific pro-poor initiatives which he developed and which required him to make tactical adjustments. It concludes with an assessment of the implications of all of this for the main concerns of our comparative study.
