gulfnews: Hung parliament likely after poll

mar 30th, 2008

so much for the 'dream budget', p chidambaram's latest attempt to bring the GDP growth rate down to the nehruvian rate of growth of 2-3%.

but mayavati is about as painful to deal with as jayalalitha. she will demand to be made PM. but i guess that's better than rahul 'kingini-kuttan' nehru. at least she doesn't look like a dear caught in the headlights.

Note from M : Hi Rajeev, Here is good news. http://www.gulfnews.com/world/India/10201497.html Left will be significantly lesser force. UPA below NDA in vote percentage. Generally challenger during campaign gains much more. So NDA could be closer to majority (inspite of CNN-IBN and NDTV proclaiming how Rahul is changing India). There is not mention of whether AGP, AIADMK, INLD, TDP, TC are part of NDA or UPA. But if they will be counted with NDA, I forsee NDA close to 350 higher than mandate of 1999. Also one more fact whenever congress came in direct fight with BJP without any allies that it got badly mauled. The situation may not be much different this year in Karnataka, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh , Delhi and Chattisgarh. Ideal situation would be for congress to get reduced to arond 50 seats same that of BSP and communists. It is like since every ruling party since 1984 has lost 100 seats in next general elction (excluding BJP in 2004 which lost only 40 seats).
