This design allows for much stronger retention and thereby increasing the probability of longer deployments. The nosecone will no longer separate from the tag and will not stay with the tether after the pin burns to pop up. Our latest design offers the benefit of a more resilient nosecone and pin. Then on a preset date set by the researcher, the tag releases from its host animal, surfaces, and uploads a summary of the archived data to Argos satellites.ĭeveloped with a focus on reliability, ruggedness, and ease of use, the MiniPAT features a stable low-drag shape, a strong integrated nosecone and pin, and a pinger for radio tracking recovery. PAT tags are designed to track the large-scale movements and behavior of fish and other animals which do not spend enough time at the surface to allow the use of real-time Argos satellite tags.ĭepth, temperature, and light-level data, among others, are collected and summarized for transmission and archived in onboard memory. It is a sophisticated combination of archival and Argos satellite technology. Feyaad Allie is Ph.D.The MiniPAT is a pop-up archival transmitting tag (PAT tag, also known as a PSAT).

The highest increase was in Molakalmuru where the Congress’ vote share increased from 22% to 54%.Ĭhart giving median vote share of Congress in ACs covered and not-covered by BJY in 2008, 2013, 20 In absolute terms, in the 21 constituencies that the yatra passed through, the Congress’ vote share increased by 10 percentage points on average. Because the Congress did not focus on its strongholds in their Yatra, it ended up making inroads. This suggests that the Bharat Jodo Yatra may have mobilised party workers and voters for the party. And when comparing the yatra constituencies to 28 bordering constituencies that did not have the Yatra pass through, the differential in vote share was 2.5%. Its vote share in this election was 2.9% higher in constituencies that the Bharat Jodo Yatra passed through compared to those that it did not. Its vote shares were highest in the Bombay Karnataka and Hyderabad Karnataka regions. Overall, the Congress won 43% of the votes. The Congress’s strike rate in the remaining 203 ACs has also increased - from 37% to 59%.ĭid the Yatra result in a vote share advantage for the Congress? This figure includes Melukote where Congress did not contest but supported Darshan Puttannaiah from Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha. In terms of strike rate – seats won as a share of seats contested – the Congress’ has improved from 24% in 2018 to 76% in 2023 in these ACs. The Congress won 16 of the 21 ACs that the Yatra passed through, up from 5 in 2018. The Congress leadership viewed the Yatra as a way to unite the country, but it also energized the local party cadre. The march did not focus on Congress strongholds but instead traveled through constituencies that the BJP won in 2018, spending time in 12 won by the BJP, 5 by the Congress, and 4 by JD(S) in 2018. The Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party traveled through 21 assembly constituencies in Karnataka. (Congress Twitter)Ĭongress strike rate shows a massive increase in ACs covered by the Yatra Rahul Gandhi during Bharat Jodo Yatra with DK Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah, in Chitradurga. To be sure, there could be other factors responsible for the better strike rate and higher vote share in constituencies through which the march passed, and correlation isn’t causation. Here is what a data analysis of the results tells us about the march’s impact on the Congress’s performance in these elections. The Yatra travelled 511km in Karnataka over 22 days between Gundlupet constituency and Raichur Rural constituency. The 2023 Karnataka elections are the first in a state which was covered in the 146 days long Bharat Jodo Yatra led by the former Congress president Rahul Gandhi. A sharp increase in strike rate and vote share - that is the impact of the Bharat Jodo yatra in Karnataka.
