As the assembly polls draw near in Bikaner, the centuries-old betting hub of Satta Gali, also known as Chai Patti, is experiencing a surge in activity. People are placing bets on political aspects such as ticket distribution, the next government, and the next Chief Minister. Despite the illegality of betting, locals continue to gather at small tea shops in the narrow lanes of Satta Bazaar to participate in this addictive activity.
