Pattern analysis:
- 5-mark questions tend to be factual: dates, seat counts, first elections, specific leaders
- 10-mark questions require analytical frameworks: anti-incumbency explanation, caste dynamics, leadership evolution
- Women's participation is a recurring theme — expect a question in 2026
- Recent election (2023) data will almost certainly appear in 2026 exam
