If this is how elections are fought and won, no party would ever lose an election. Many of your arguments are flawed.
This election is between the UPA and NDA and not congress and left. So the average NDA voter will not have an impact
Assuming that the congress actually grabs seats from left in WB and Kerala, who will it have to depend on to form the next Govt??? Maya Memsahab....now that is quite an option
There are 100 urban seats of which Congress has about 25-30. Considering the anger towards reservations and the farmer waiver, let us see how many of these seats will the congress retain.

Chandra Sahab,
Firstly, Left is not a part of UPA. It is supporting UPA externally. Congress has regional support already from NCP, DMK, RJD, various North Eastern parties, besides its own party ruling many states (some with regional allies). With Kerala, Tamil Nadu, entire North East, majority of West Bengal, Maharashtra, J & K, it already has a huge vote bank. Besides rapid industrial development and improvement in living standards in urban areas would definitely please enough the common Indian to relect this government. Debt waiver will certainly cause a major turn around in farmer's opinion of the current government. But all said and done, everything is just analysis. Last time the UPA showed us a miracle, this time we have to wait and watch.
