As we all know that Lok Sabha elections is very near and the field of politics is heating up rapidly with lots of rebel political leader switching from one party-to-another and in same sequence many celebrities from entertainment industry also stepping-up to join some party, as we came to know that recently Anguri Bhabi of ‘Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai’ fame actress Shilpa Shinde joined Congress now veteran actor Arun Govil who played role of Lord Ram in Ramayana is going to shake hand with Rahul Gandhi lead party.
Now, ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress is adding popular faces in its party to field from the respective seats. After Bigg Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde joined Congress in Mumbai, now Ramayana actor Arun Govil, who played Lord Rama’s Character in Ramanand Sagar’s television serial 1980s, joins Congress.
The actor has joined Congress from Madhya Pradesh’s Indore. According to a report by leading English news newspaper, Govil, who is close to the Congress party, may prove to be a game-changer in Indore. From Indore, the Congress has repeatedly lost the seat eight times to Lok Sabha Speaker and MP Sumitra Mahajan.
Notably, Bhopal and Indore constituencies are considered as BJP’s impregnable fortresses. According to a report, state Congress media cell coordinator Narendra Saluja confirmed the development and said Govil’s name is being discussed.
Saluja also said if Govli applies for a ticket from the Congress party, his application will be considered on a serious note. Interestingly, his wife hails from Indore.
After widespread speculations about Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Salman Khan contesting Lok Sabha Elections 2019, there are reports that the Congress is considering Television actor Arun Govil, Ramayan TV serial’s Ram, to take on Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Majahan from the crucial Indore Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh.
Ramayana fame character Lord Ram to contest LS polls from Congress party after Shilpa Shinde:
According to a report published, the Chief Minister Kamal Nath’s office told the daily that Govil, who has always been close to the Congress, is one of the names being discussed for the Indore seat.
Other front-runners for the seat include minister for higher education Jeetu Patwari, party leaders Satyanarayan Patel, Pankaj Sangvi and Mahila Congress leader Archana Jaiswal. Sanghvi, who contested from Indore -5 assembly seat in 2013, lost to BJP’s Mahendra Hardia by a margin of 11,000 votes.
The Congress, which has been voted to power in Madhya Pradesh after 15 long years, reportedly eyes to bag 20 plus seats, including Bhopal and Indore, of the total 29 Lok Sabha constituencies in Madhya Pradesh. Bhopal and Indore are considered as the BJP’s impregnable fortresses and hence is significant for the Congress in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls 2019.
Govil’s entry into politics would be another trump card for the Congress followed by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s appointment as the AICC General Secretary for Uttar Pradesh (East).
The Indore-Malwa belt is known to be a stronghold of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but the Congress has made a strong comeback in the recently concluded Assembly Elections 2018.
Congress has been repeatedly losing the Indore seat to eight times MP Sumitra Mahajan. Congress’ Satyanarayan Patel was lost to Mahajan twice in the 2009 and 2014 Lok Sabha Elections by a whopping number of votes.
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
