In-Depth: Epic Poll Battles of History

Some electoral battles can make or break politicians and change the public discourse for a party. From causing anarchy in Lutyens to leading to the fall of the Gandhi bastion, here's a look at some poll contests that are hard to forget. 

When political giants lock horn, or ambitious rookies challenge the existing&nbsp;order- some poll battles are capable of redefining&nbsp;political landscapes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
