Presently, there are 595 voters who are not willing to divulge their preference. But at least 50% from this group will vote on the %u201CD%u201D day. Whether they will fall in line as their brothers and sisters had earlier decided or take an entirely new decision, depends upon the heat of the campaign. If they act like the earlier decided group, the likelihood of Congress getting few more seats can%u2019t be ruled out.
CHIEF MINISTER - The voters were given eight names of probable CM candidates & were asked whom they would consider as the best suited for the post. Surprisingly, Mr.S.M. Krishna emerged in the top closely followed by Mr. Yeddyurappa. On the other hand, when asked whom you would think will become the CM, Mr. Yeddyurappa has a slight edge over Mr.S.M. Krishna, as majority in the BJP as well as outsiders think that if the BJP party is voted to power, he would be the best choice. On the other hand, in the Congress, there are too many claimants.
