1. I do not have a vote. The best I could do was to take buaji to vote, and I successfully did that. At the same time ensured that no one else voted for Phuphaji, Deepu and Meetu. It was not a straight forward task. We needed to go to two election booths to find their names. But, this was my first feel of the elections in the country, and I am marvelled by the system established, despite all that we say about it. It works, and works at such a large magnitude.
2. Everyone is taking his shot at the possible outcome. Here is mine.
Total seats 405
BSP 100
SP 100
BJP 50-80
Cong 50-80
Serious horse trading as to who goes with whom, with BSP-SP alliance ruled out, it could be SP-CONG, BSP-CONG, BSP-BJP, or SP-BJP( unlikely).
Let us see!! I am expecting month of horse trading and only then a solution, amid a lot of cash flowing around.

I was looking at a hung assembly as everyone else. The results are however quite different with simple majority for SP. However, other then having underestimated SP (more out of heart then for reason), my estimates are quite close. As per the final tally, BJP is at 48 ( my estimates of more then 50), CONG at 37 ( my estimates of more then 50), BSP at 80 (my estimate of 100). After being so many years away, I think I have done reasonably done, making the same mistakes as everyone else!! No one estimated SP to so good.
