[@arramreddy]

In the fast changing election scenario the above bebate is already out dated. As on May,2 nd 2109, BJP has long way in served winning aces. 1. There may be 20 seat loss in UP, bt will be compensated by its improved performance in WB, Odissa and NE. 2. There won't be any loss of seats in Gujrat, Rajasthan,HP, UK, MP and CG and Jharkhand in a significant way. 3. It will improve in Maharastra, Kerala, TN and Karnataka to some extent. Over all it will be repeat of 2014 by BJP as well as NDA. Any shortfall if any will be bridged by TRS, YSRCP, AIDMK and perhaps NCP. and TDP

Manisha Priyam, Rahul Verma & Yogeandra Yadav have expressed their views based on certain assumptions, their experiences in this field of politics. But politics is such a game that cannot be predicted. There are 50 / 50 chances by nature of rules as Rahul rightly said.

[@AG-bn7ct]

Surprise! Surprise!!! No body spoke about the alternative. what's the opposition offering other than one point agenda of defeating the BJP? That is biased analysis for me. Yes some of the points raised about the failures of the modi government were absolutely correct. But how the anti BJP government is going to do better and do people trust them will also play on the minds of the voters. Trying to sound scholarly and all is great all were very articulate yes, but the elephant in the room is the alternative in front of the voters. Though this is expected as this is organised by the hindu.

[@loneranger7535]

Some of these decision/ actions may not have been appropriate in hindsight but most people appreciate that his Govt is decisive and acts in the interest of the nation . UPA on the other hand is perceived as indecisive in most matters including country's defence and panders to the wishes of any party that may further its electoral chances. No one except biased media thinks that Raffael is a scam in which NDA made tons of money . BJP is quickly sticking up alliances with small regional parties .
