Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

How are Bihar Muslims so different from UP muslims that they are willing to go for BJP in reasonable numbers? There was never any settled Muslim aristocracy in Bihar. The Bihar rulers have always been Hindu's, fairly powerful, only paying titular tribute (if any) to Muslim Dewan of Bengal (in turn ...

Well BJP is certainly doing better than even ABV years -- by about 10% (based on surveys)

So BJP should be expected to best the previous best tally by at least 10%.
