		<description>complete analysis is here http://promiseofreason.com/pre-poll-prediction-after-phase-3-by-shiladitya-bose/
Based on feedback received from the ground in some states as well as newspaper, TV reports, web blogs and discussions during the 3 phases of “India Votes 2009”, my state wise estimate is given below. I would request all readers to give your valuable inputs also.


State 		NDA 	UPA 	Left 	Others 	Total
Manipur 	 0 	  2 	  0 	    0 	  2	
Meghalaya 	 2 	  0 	  0 	    0 	  2
Arunachal 	 2 	  0 	  0 	    0 	  2
Mizoram 	 0 	  1 	  0 	    0 	  1
Tripura 	 0 	  0 	  2 	    0 	  2
Nagaland 	 1 	  0 	  0 	    0 	  1
Sikkim 		 0 	  0 	  0 	    1 	  1
Goa 		 1 	  1 	  0 	    0 	  2
Chandigarh	 1 	  0 	  0 	    0 	  1
Dadra &amp; Nagar  	 1  0 	  0 	    0 		   1
Lakshwadip  	  0 	  1 	  0 	    0 		   1
Andaman  		  1 	  0 	  0 	    0 		   1
Daman Diu  	  1 	  0 	  0 	    0 		   1
Total 		  10 	  5 	  2 	    1 		  18

THE BIG PICTURE 

a)NDA [BJP, JD(U), SHS, INLD, RLD, SAD, AGP, NCP in NE (P.Sangma)] = 195-200
b)UPA [INC, NCP, DMK, MUL, MIM, KEC, NC, TMC] = 170-175
c)3rd front [Left, TDP, TRS, BJD, AIADMK+, JD(S), BSP] = 140-145
d)4th front [RJD, SP, LJP] = 30-35
e)Others / Independents = 01-02

NATIONAL PARTIES

a)	BJP 	=  150-155
b)	INC 	=  140-145

The catch is if NDA slips in the crucial swing states of UP, Maharashtra, and/or performs worse than predicted by me in Bihar, Karnataka, Gujarat and/or TDP/Left alliance slips in AP, then it would be tough for LKA to realize his dream.</description>

Fact Sheet: BJP May Surprise In Telangana



This is the observation came out from majority polling booths those have seen the pulse of voters in Telangana region. BJP was no way considered to be strong before first phase of elections, but on the actual polling day, observers have noticed hidden strength of the party.

Now experts say that BJP may give surprise in Telangana region getting 5-10 MLAs and 2-3 MPs. Another surprise is that some say that it may grab second position among some Parliament and Assembly seats as well. One thing is for sure is BJP’s vote share will increase drastically this time. Many places reported that cross voting for Lok Sabha to BJP in the places like Secundrabad, Adilabad, Mahaboob Nagar , Malkajgiri, Karim Nagar and Chevella is observed.

We need to wait for another one more month to see what is going to Happen.</description>

Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen beat up a polling agent of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) during polling on Thursday.

Owaisi is alleged to have taken the law into his own hands after he got information that the TDP polling agent was influencing voters in Mughalpura in Hyderabad which went to the polls in the first phase of the Lok Sabha polls on Thursday. The victim has not filed a complaint with police.

The incident was condemned by almost all parties.

BJP ideologue Sudheendra Kulkarni said the act cannot be justified as there is no place for muscle power during elections.

Congress Working Committee member Keshav Rao called the incident very unfortunate.</description>

		<description>Based on the feedback received from Maharashtra, Jharkhand, hatisgarh, Bihar &amp; UP, I guess BJP led NDA has to wait till 2014 for tasting power. Minorities, SC/STs have voted in a big way in Phase I. Way it is going BJP may end up with 120-125 seats only and NDA at 165-170 seats. 

Based on what I have gathered from preliminary sources is given below. 

1) Maharashtra : UPA sweep in Vidharbha (UPA = 7-8, NDA = 2-3) and advantage in Marathwada (UPA = 2-3, NDA = 0-1)

2) Jharkhand : UPA has upper hand (UPA = 3-4, NDA = 0-1, Others = 1-2). Yeshwant Sinha, Karia Munda may lose.

3) Orissa : INC sweep (INC = 6, BJP+ = 1, BJD/NCP/Left = 3)

4) Bihar : NDA &amp; RJD+ neck and neck (NDA = 7, RJD+ = 6)

5) UP : INC/BJP wash out. Main fight between SP &amp; BSP (BSP = 8-9, SP = 4-5, BJP = 1-2, INC = 0-1). Yogi Adiyanath, Murli M Joshi may lose.

6) Assam = INC upper hand (INC = 2, BJP+ = 1)

7) Chattisgarh : INC is on a road to recovery. Local level anti-incumbency against sitting MPs is peaking. (BJP = 6-7, INC = 4-5). BJP has miscalculated on this issue.

 North East : INC has an upper hand (INC = 4 , NDA = 2, Left = 1)

I was surprised by the feedback and am cross-checking to be really sure.

Would give the final estimates tomoprrow by 8PM after cross-checking with other sources.</description>

		<description>Vikas Ji, The Reason Why Micro-Management is NOT so Important for BJP in States Where BJP is NOT so Popular, but, yet is expected to Win A Considerable Number of Seats is : In Such states Like AP,TN;BJP is NOT Present in All Constituencies and even where Present is Only Amongst The Urban Middle Class Who Dont Make Fuss during Elections.BJP is NOT well Known and There is NO Awareness of National Issues among The Rural Population and thereby, these opinion Polls which are conducted largely in urban slums and rural areas in these states make it appear that These are Zero Zone States for BJP. But, The Fact is, BJP is Strong in Certain Specific Constituencies, Particularly, In The Elite Constituencies</description>
