Well, disillusionment with the Congress doesn't exactly translate into a vote for, or even endorsement of, the BJP (and its entourage of 18 or 22 or 26 parties -- does anybody know how many of those are there?). Things are much more complex than that. There is a strong third force of regional parties that is emerging from the background. If they manage to get 200 seats, Indian politics will make a radical shift to rule by coalitions in which no partner has more than even 1/5th of the minimum seats required. And if India has to stay in one piece, that is the only way out. Even with that, the odds are stupendous.
