Ravi Shankar Prasad said on NDTV that in the 89 seats that went to poll in phase 1, BJP had won only 10 in 2004. So, 31 is a huge improvement.
That means in 2004 election, BJP had won 69 out of the remaining 135 seats. That is 51.11% of seats.
Now if BJP wins 60% of the remaining seats, it will win 81 seats. Total would be 31+ 81 = 112. That is the halfway mark. So, BJP has good chances of winning majority on its own.
