Exit polls and after
by Dr. Tirath Garg on May 11, 2004 03:00 PM

In the next 48 hrs. truth will be known to everyone on May 13. I reiterate my almost 8 weeks old analysis when there was unanimity that NDA will sweep elections and BJP will get simple majority of its own, that inspite of the hoax of Atal wave NDA will not reach 250 including deserters who are not allied to congress like INLD of Chautala NC of Abdullhas etc. Cogress front and left front put together will overtake NDA and the wisdom and neutrality of President will be at test. Though BJP is capable of doing anything to grab the power but it is wished that when NDA fails to reach 272 and BJP fails to maintain its tally of 183 it will be a moral defeat for Vajpayee then hr will not insert the last nail in the coffin to bury morals, ethics and principles and save some grace of statesmanship. He will concede the defeat with utmost humbleness and will refuse to form the next government under pressure from hawks in BJP who has least regard for principles and have explanation for everything because they think that they have stronest vocal chords and can intimidate anyone. People will prove that they can intimidate their opponents but can't fool the voters.

far from the saddening crowd
by Gaurav Sadana on May 11, 2004 10:13 AM

its strange and so different from what they teach us in school.. the way political parties are defined .. its goes somwething like " it is a group of ppl that share a common idealogy and represent those values and stand by them and use it as plank for contesting elections" i'm not quoting it verbatim.. its more than 15 years since i wwas an avid reader of my civics book.. but i am sure .. the gist of the discussion was as stated above .. reading this article how the BJP has an udnerstanding with certain other groups .. and is actually not averse to having an alliance with oppurtunistic herds like the BSP yet again .. it strikes at the heart of the entire concept of governance, of democracy.. afterall it can be logially inferred that the only idealogy that they share is an insatiable thirst of power, of money and abuse of authority and hogging public resources.. infact .. it could actually help if all the parties coalasce into one group.. Power Mongers United.. they'd still be our governors .. but at least we can do away with all the farce that there is ..and maybe the stark reality and sheer ignomny of it all might just force all of us to rethink the way things are ..

Recipe for disaster
by bhagwat goel on May 11, 2004 07:52 AM

boding ill for NDA may be a small matter, it is a recipe for disaster for India and Indians. A non NDA government led or supported by Congress will not be allowed to last for more than 1 1/2 years. That is clear plan of Congress in the hope of fresh elections giving clear mandate to it. An NDA govt dependent upon Mamta, Maya and Jaya will find impossible to function. Resulte will turn everything topsy-turvy taking India back in late 1980's.Media in its bid to make small of 'India Shining'forgot that it will take another 50 years before things reach to everyone down the line that too if population is controlled.

As far as my concern NDA will get good majority for ruling.
About this Exit survey the mandatory used is on what basis. millions of people went for casting their vote. from that which probability theory used for this Exit.

Iam sure on 13,14, we can see exit poll is nothing for the use

Exit Polls bode ill for NDA
by Poongulam Sivaraman on May 10, 2004 10:31 PM

These exit polls are not to be taken seriously at all as they are conducted by agencies that have a political axe to grind.

It is the handiwork of certain pro-Congress agencies that are driving the nation into political instability to fulfill their disruptive agenda.

First, there is no transparency with regard to the methodology they deploy.
Second, there is no accountability on their part.
Who cares if their predictions go awry and stock market is sent on a tailspin?
Third, psephology in a country as diverse as ours simply does not work.

When elections are conducted in phases, exit polls influence the voting pattern in favour of or against a political group, which should be avoided.
