And the most stylish politician is...

Even as India's general elections have kicked in, we decided to conduct a poll of our own -- who makes for the most stylish neta in our country? We left the biggies out this time to bring you some young faces -- some of them are new, others you know already.

We have forever been hearing about Sonia Gandhi's chic collection of sarees and Narendra Modi's custom-made kurtas. Granted Shashi Tharoor is stylish and Rahul Gandhi knows how to rock a white starched kurta.

But this election season, we decided to focus on style icons in the political arena beyond the biggies. We bring you the most stylish politician (male), the most stylish politician (female) and those celebs who are adding their own fashionable tadka to this interesting stew.

Read on to find out who emerges as the winner in the style stakes.
