Every single opinion poll and back-of-the-envelope prediction has put the BJP-led NDA behind the Congres-led UPA. So far. Now, an internal poll commissioned by the BJP gives it a slight edge, in the wake of the desertions from the UPA ranks by the RJD, SP and LJP in the North, and the PMK in the South.
Sudheendra Kulkarni, a member of the BJP’s election strategy group, offers six reasons why the Congress will buck the forecasts and lose:
# Betrayal of the aam admi
# Concern over economic security
# Concern over national security
# UPA has withered away
# Crisis of leadership in Congress
