Mr Vij, you are beginning to write like a propaganda journalist. You are assuming that the party’s “strategy” matters more than what voters think. Economy is in a mess, the social fabric is being torn apart every day, we have had huge dosage of NaMo (it is likely that some will see it as overdose), politics has probably reached lowest possible depth (though every time we think we have reached the lowest level, we find someone who proves us wrong), diplomacy has been reduced to phot ops and so on. During the India Shining days, we at least had India in discussion, we now have one man promoting himself and the darbaris lapping it up. We have to assume that an average Indian (that to a vast majority of them) is foolish for you to reach the conclusion that you have reached. You must also remember the old saying – once bitten twice shy. How do you expect us to trust a man whose second nature is deceit and who tells lies in our face? We have to be particularly dumb.
In point 6, even AIADMK is expected to do badly.

Yeh KCR Rao kahan se aa gaya bhai?
A lot will depend on how economic pain translates into electoral outcomes. The troubles in the economy in the early seventies, which finally brought down Mrs Gandhi, are a distant memory for me. Not since then have I found the economy to be in such a mess.
