Battle for Bittora is writer and advertiser Anuja Chauhan's second novel after her debut novel, The Zoya Factor. Both funny and cutting, the novel looks at the real business of politics through a light-hearted lens of romance, but offers telling observations and provides accurate insights into the process of elections in India and the people involved in them. The Hindustan Times wrote, "With their idiosyncrasies, mispronunciation and picaresque mannerisms, Bittora's residents come across as a feisty bunch."
