Union Minister and RPI leader, Ramdas Athawale, has been reiterating that the BJP will lose some seats. But in the same breath, he predicts that the NDA will form the Government and only Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister. This has, however, made one thing clear: The BJP and its alliance partners are apprehensive that they are going to lose some seats. On the other hand, the Congress believes it will gain only what the BJP loses. The Congress leaders — on the basis of internal and media houses’ sur- veys — feel that the BJP will lose around 100 seats, and if this happens, the Congress will gain more than half of that ie more than 50 seats. The Congress feels that 50 to 60 seats belonging to the BJP will come to it and the rest will go to the alliance partners. If the BJP loses in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, the Congress will benefit directly, while the BJP’s loss in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar will be a boost for the SP, BSP, and RJD. Apart from this, if the equation of seats changes, the regional parties will benefit. For example, in Tamil Nadu, the DMK’s loss will be the AIADMK’s gain. P here is no tradition of setting up a Tcore committee in the Congress, especially for elections. But this time is different; the party has formed a core committee nine months prior to polls.
