The Election Commission’s fiat against exit polls during the five phases of polling has resulted in a small cottage industry for political soothsayers in a recessionary period.
Before the “real” exit polls start rolling, three more straws in the wind:
# Rajya Sabha member Rajeev Chandrashekhar asserts no party or alliance will get a majority, but UPA’s numbers will decline from its 2004 tally vis-a-vis NDA’s.
# According to a Reuters report, bookies are giving 140 for the Congress against 125-130 for the BJP.
# Columnist Girish Nikam who claims he accurately predicted 145 for the Congress in 2004, says the party will get 173 this time, BJP 131 and Left 43.
Nikam’s reading for Karnataka: BJP 13, Congress 12, JDS3.

I am running out of salt to take these predictions with.
swalpa swalpa take madi……….salt na!!
But …but BJP is supposed to get 18+ na??
Still time to “delete” some votes by the cheddis, now victorious in in operation kamla, Manglore oppression and voter “delete”.
Wonder how the reaction of cheddis for the operation “swift HAND”!
Will they cry in the name of democracy?
Will they moan the loss of Morality in politics?
Will they initiate “terrost operation” to retain their states?
Will the Cheddis revert to the taq “party with a difference”, with tail between the legs??
Interesting Times!!!
Khan,
BJP will demand Sharia for you:)
BJP will now in no postion to “demand” whatever.
Beggars are not chooser ..you see!
Lucky you Khan. This allows you to continue to crib about not having Shari’a for Muslims.
Still, why not ask the UPA for it? There is still hope…na?
