India Election 2004

[Arjun Shastry]

I see no reason why CongI and others disrupt IT policy.People in AP have said through voting that "We want water electricity and food first,Microsoft/Oracle later"

Well, how can they expect water and electricity if they wouldn�t capitalise on what they have � loads and loads of educated and willing to work young people? Its not like they have vast fertile and rich plains, rivers and suitable weather for farming, or gold or petroleum to dig out! It should be like, sell what you have and then buy what you need, than, give us what we need and then we will do what you want.
Well, it will be interesting to see how BJP is going to get enough seats to NDA this time around! I hate hung parliaments!

[Arjun Shastry]

Ok,but Naidu govt was turning blind eye on farmer's suicides.60% of people in country depends on agriculture.You can't just neglect those.Now people are saying S.M.Krishna will be following Naidu!

Even with Congress with its kind of leadership in AP(or lack there of) the same problems for the farmers would havebeen there.
It has more to do with anti-incumbent mentality of Indian voter that has more to do with Babu's demise than anything else.

[Arjun Shastry]

Ofcourse,I am not saying Cong(i) leaders would have done much different than Babu.Now a days you can rarely find a leader who knows and solves the issues well.But Babu created a such a show that IT means everything.People showed him his place and concluded that IT is not everything.

Thats massive difference there, didn't TDP see it coming? If they didn�t, that �ll explain it � they don�t deserve to win!

I agree.

Dont worry as soon our Finance Guru Dr Manmohan Singh will become PM the market will rise like a rocket

Pradeep,your dream of Vajpayee becoming PM again is fading away based on yesterday's AP result.Now 24 hours to go and we will be knowing whether we get hung parliament or not.Laloo can't become PM bcos of obvious reasons.Vajpayee is too tired now.Congress(I) won't take support from third parties for forming govt.They migh support from outside.In that case Mulayam Singh or Sharad Yadav or Sharad Pawar?

I think he's one person who could bring about some changes,, somebody who can make a diference.

.Its still an idea
In politics you can't really guess.

Oh boy where they will lead our country.

If I heard correctly then Congress(I) is taking support from CPI(M).
AW Dr. Singh is better than ABV, and much-much better than Murli Manohar or L.K. Advani etc.

They will. But there is also a high possibility that parties like DMK, MDMK and especially PMK changing sides and start supporting BJP, if conditions suit them. All they need is after all few chairs in the ministry!
They are traders

[Kishore Dandu]

As of 12:18AM central leads:
Leads: NDA 191 | Cong+ 216 | Oth 110

[Sameer Jamal]

Cong is performing beyond expectation

[Arjun Shastry]

Congress(I)--221
BJP----197
Others---118
Shining India .Where is Pradeept Bhat?

[Arjun Shastry]

Most possibly its hung parliament.If not Congi and allies will form government.

[Arjun Shastry]

Comparing the figures,it looks like cost of 'others' will skyrocket!!During 1996,price of one Member of Parliament was 1 Crore(Rs 10000000)for supporting the Govt.Anil Ambani has already met Sonia Gandhi yesterday. .
I just heard Atal will take rest and submit his resignation to president.Almost clear now who will be the Prime Minister ,Italian born ..........
Pradeep?

[Sameer Jamal]

Cong + CPM = 270

Its going to be cong but who is going to be next PM "Italian Pizza" or "Punjabi makke di roti" or "Idli dosa" or "Paw Bhaji"

[Pradeep bhatt]

I just heard Atal will take rest and submit his resignation to president.Almost clear now who will be the Prime Minister ,Italian born ..........

Atal has already developed India. Congress can take over and ruin India for more years.

I am happy that BJP has swept in my home town, not even a single congress candidate won. Only one indepenedent.

[Ashok Mash]

I can�t believe these results!! I am happy to see many Sivsena candidates biting the dust, but then there are clueless bollywood starts winning against central ministers with expertise in their area of work!? The whole of India has gone TamilNadu way I guess.

Well, in its grand old tradition, no seats for BJP from Kerala (yet), and as usual, (since Right is the ruling party) Left is leading!

[R K Singh]

shocking ..

Yashwant Sinha and Manohar Joshi (NOT Murli M Joshi)lost :roll:

Both were good enough to win ...

And good that Deve Gowda and Murli M lose.

[Kishore Dandu]

It will be interesting to see who will endup being the PM.

Many signs are pointing towards 'Bahu', that will be real annoying.

[Ashok Mash]

Sure, Sonia looks all set for the job, and in fact, at this stage, I would personally prefer her to be the leader. I think it would be really spineless if Congress (under pressure from their coalition) brings up someone else for the role (Rahul Gandhi for eg., ). She lead them through the election, and I guess she deserves to rule.

Italians make good Pasta you know, and sleek lookin cars!

BJP reaps the corp of Dr. Manmohan Singh's open door foreign policy... now its time for Congress to do the same with BJP's strong forex.

From BBC: Of the 20 seats, it went this way:

CPM 12
CPI 3
JD(S) 1
Ind. 1
JD(S)

I do not have all their names, but am sure Padmaja doesn't stand a chance when Congress did like, what 2:18?

Well, now thats another tradition - We have always managed to elect a party of exactly opposite alliance to the party forming Central Government.

[sunitha reghu]

Its a shame: But the truth is kerlaites got sick of all the internal fights inside congress.

I wonder what happened to KM Mani's son?

[chanakya khatri]

Very Sad day i was soo mad that i couldnt study for my Uni exams. anyway ppl got what they deserved. Is there any book about Alberto Fujimori that would be an interesting reading now...I hope Manmohan Singh will become PM and ABV's Golden Quadrilateral and other projects wont be stalled by the Congress...

[Pradeep bhatt]

I hope Manmohan Singh will become PM

We will have an Italian PM. Stock markets have crahsed and I have lost lot of money. All because of Congress.

sorry to talk something serious ..

which BJP policy do you think made India shining ??
It was all fruits of policies and work of Dr. Singh in reign of P.V.N. Rao.
