Tharoor leading by 4300.

Anand K

Story with O.R. is that the leads were from Nadar areas in which traditional INC votes were "transferred" to him by a grumbling INC Nadar strongman who was not given a Ministership in the recent reshuffle. Now it's the urban INC areas being counted. Just few more to go and it's touch and g...

Smriti Irani leading by 300+ votes?

Anand K

BJP leading in 260 seats.

Anand K

Big data and pollsters work I guess. Was always mega skeptical about their accuracy in India....

Anand K

Rajagopal at 13,000 lead in Tvm and rising as urban booths started counting. That's clinched it I guess.

Anand K

In Tvm the votes from traditional BJP stronghold of Nemom just finished. Need to watch karamana and the rest to see if Rajagopal wins indeed. Up by 10,000 now anyway.

Is RaGa 3rd now?

Anand K

On average 25% votes counted across the nation.

How is AAP getting 4 in Punjab?

Anand K

So no crazy Didi or fickle Amma or crafty Jagan to rely on for the NDA Govt.

Way past postal votes now. Results will be out by 1:00 PM IST right?

ECI site is impressive for a sarkari page!

My late grandmother was a cricket fan - but always walked off from the TV when India looked to win a target chase. Always said - "If I keep watching, we will lose only.".

That sure was something!
You created the models and laws, with regard to electoral sector, ground-up in just ONE year?

Muraliravi, you've got mail.

This thread is getting one-sided. We need the Congressanandas to spit their spite and venom against the NDA based on their insider info on EVM magic to overcompensate for exit polls? :rotfl: Okay, post EVM hack signal (tinfoil-hat and El-Nino oscillation proof) transmit at 22:00 hours May 14 from t...

In this age, the absolute breakdown of central political control and a functioning economy in Muslim countries (even in an monarchy like KSA) might make Muslim communities coalesce among mosque 'parishes' - the fundamental social unit. That is, if they are allowed to continue to practice their faith...

Indian Hedge Fund hits 0.5B USD from 0.5M USD, in 5 years Motorcycle maker Eicher Motors Ltd is among the companies in which Mehta invested.

So they did their own – and the party has an outfit uniquely capable of carrying out exit polling on a large scale: The block-level RSS workers. ... I would take the results of a full fledged political organization like the RSS/BJP or the INC over any research agency. But then there's the tendency ...

In the US they put you on pills if your Total Serum Cholesterol is above 180 IIRC. In India they do it if it's above 225-250. Maybe it's the market driven tendency for pill popping in the US (tranquilizers for little kids diagnosed with ADHD and all that) but different standards is a fact. Also ther...

Reworking all the numbers with two of the best statisticians; BJP getting clear majority if we refrain from over analyzing demographics Over-analyze demographics? :-?

I am in MR, and I know what you are saying about the nightmare of managing an MR project on ground. :mrgreen: BTW, that 'CIA' project you were talking about - it was 'handled' by my agency.

IIRC someone said here 5forty3 had a sample size of 80,000! Even CSDS managed 21,000 only and that too with 620 field agents.

Starch in general pushes up Triglycerides - long grain and Ponni type white rice more so. My triglycerides went down to normal right after I alternated it with wild rice and took rolled oats-wheat chapathi instead of plain chapathis. Less refined varieties of oats are "slow release" carbs ...

Chanakya is the agency that worked on Congress 2009 campaign. They list their "Congress ka haath aam admi ke saath' as one of their successes. That and their track record on rooting for AAP in 2013 Assembly elections would make them suspect in my eyes. If they say 340 then I would see it as a ...

The company that has conducted the opinion poll for Times Now is ORG India Private Limited which is not related to the organization formerly known as ORG-MARG, which merged with AC Nielsen.

While civilian authorities are unfamiliar with operational realities, they rarely take advice from the generals.
