If 200+ crorepatis who have helipads in their homes start losing, I will admit the wave is bigger than I thought. Let's wait till the 16th though.

I guess it is the East Delhi seat where Sandeep Dikshit (Former Delhi CM, current Kerala Governor - Sheila Dikshit's son) of INC is contesting & competing with Rajmohan of AAP & supposedly weak BJP candidate ... Mahesh Girri.

3. "5/6 for NDA in Bihar"
4. "Kamalnath to lose"

Next biggie is the April 17th when 121 seats are in play and then April 24th when 117 are at stake. By 4/30 majority are done.

1. BJP sweeping western UP beyond even their own expectations
2. BJP is leading in Haryana, Congress is not far behind
3. BJP will decimate everyone in Delhi
4. BJP just making mincemeat of everyone in Bihar
5. BJP and Congress are neck to neck in Madhya Pradesh (in the 9 seats that went to polls, BUT BUT, he put a caveat there saying it is 1 PM data and he has not received data from interiors and even during the assembly polls, he had same exp of MP showing cong=bjp till noon and after he received data from every location/booth, BJP sweep was clear)

So overall very good.
5forty3 subscription is messed up - unable to fathom it.

Wait for congi's & MSM to create controversy just before those dates (April 17th and 24th), so BJP does not have time to regroup and redirect the attack.

To prevent this, BJP should be on attack mode and force opposition on defensive throughout the election! Hopefully BJP has some stuff up their sleeve in expectation of this dirty attack from congi-MSMs.

Previously it was commented here that NDA would be fighting only on 540 seats rather than 543. Seats where NDA doesn't have a candidate would then be:

1) Nilgiris (TN) - BJP
2) Chidambaram (TN) - PMK
3) Srinagar (JK) - BJP

Just a piece of news:
In Chidambaram the wife of the PMK candidate, whose nomination application was rejected due to procedural reasons, would be fighting as she had filed her nomination papers as an alternate candidate. So there is a NDA candidate on the seat.

On the other hand, in Nilgiris, even the alternate candidate was rejected.

In Srinagar, I am not sure BJP had an alternate candidate!

I don't know kis mooh seh foreigners give Indians advice on who is good for them. This is a frikkin election in the biggest democracy in the world. Indians will decide who they want as PM, whether it is a weakling sell out like MMS or a nationalist patriot like Narendra Modi.

Why do these people think they have a right to warn Indian people?

Mbhu,

Muraliraviji can speak to us on this forum in an informal manner, it is still speculation, but somewhat closed to the outside. Dr. Patil can't be so forthright and he has to go through the data as well. We still need info on MH and Kerala at this time.

Seems Siachen push was munna's idea and was opposed by both AKA and dada. Taken with the previous statement it would seem Siachen push might have been originated and driven by the unkill.
This was known long ago.

Hint: read the siachen dhaaga about who wanted to gift it away :wink:

Does anyone have any info about which way the wind's blowing over there? Since Patnaik has ruled out joining the NDA, the road to 272 got a little more difficult.

One clue is that Modi thanked Odisha voters and went hammer tongs on Naveen Babu (meaning that he has little hope for post alignment, or maybe they are doing good).
There is no exit poll for Odisha. So we will have to wait until then. One curious point to note for Orissa would be, India today had done a big survey in 2007-2008 and in Odisha, voting % it showed wad NP 33%, BJP -30 and Con 27%. The assembly/LS election that followed, BJP got last, NP surged ahead. Then few other opinion poll said the same, but the real results were very different. Some surveys have also said that BJP is on the heals of NP. Bottom line, BJP had lots of latent support, but maybe because of lack of local candidate or chance people went mostly NP way. Will this be an election, where Odisha people went ahead and voted Modi (overlooking the local candidate) and in that respect maybe BJP is lucky this time? This is how, it looks like rest of India is voting.

So until now, we've seen a higher voter turnout than the previous few elections? More younger folks voting?

If this goes around, we may not get any info from MR's source in CSDS.

Do you mean CSDS and the other agencies don't do an exit poll for Orissa? Why is that? Muraliravi obtained inside data for UP, Bihar, etc. He didn't get any for Orissa, so what you say must be true.

Everyone's collecting inside information and exit poll data in each phase. They just can't publish them formally until May 12 or later. Regardless, in this age of information, trends are not hard to spot, and dissemination of anecdotal information is impossible to contain. That should be used to further build momentum for the remaining phases.

Several months back (autumn of 2013 I think) I wrote on this thread about how NaMo is trying to make this a presidential election. Back then, yes it did not seem credible. But it's increasingly evident that this is a reality in these elections - people are voting to put Modi in the PM seat, without much concern for their local BJP MP, unless he/she is especially undesirable to them.
