ITS NOT SHOCKING THAT BJP LOST IN 2004....EVEN IF THEY DID VERY WELL THEY LOST MAINLY BECAUSE OF THEIR HANDLING OF THE KARGIL WAR...
ANYAY CONGRESS HAVE FAILED AT ALL FRONTS THIS TIME AND NO ONE SHOULD BE SHOCKED IF THEY DONT EVEN REACH THE 100 MARK..
EVEN IF THERE WILL BE NO OUTRIGHT WINNER ,THIS TIME ,EITHER THE LEFTIST COMBINE WILL FORM GOVERNMENT OR THE BJP COMBINE WILL FORM THE GOVERNMENT....

In 2004, most pollsters failed because they did not factor in the complete UPA political formation.

For e.g. In Karnataka, a JDS-Congress alliance will sweep all 28 seats since they add up to 53% vote share. If they fight separately it maybe a different story.

In West Bengal, a TMC-Congress coalition will give the Left a bloody nose on one hand while reducing NDA tally on the other hand.

RJD-LJP-Congress alliance in Bihar can see UPA giving JDU-BJP alliance a run for their money.
