That doesnt make sense. INC and commies wouldnt have tabled this if they thought they was any chance of loosing. This deal perhaps provides them some opening into middle-class which is BJPs area.
Commies are winning because they wanted to get out of this anyways before the next LS polls. They will start backing the secular parties as soon as LS polls over. Their power will perhaps rise if they come back to power. They can now raise stink about inflation/aam-aadmi/etc just like any other opposition party and reap benefits of anti-incumbency.
Situation of behenji/amar-singh is fluid, altho muslim/brahmins in UP will be interesting to see.
BJP need to compile the kartoots of UPA aggressively and play this out for next 6 months. They have time on their side now. Its good they didnt spend any money in this. If crude-oil stays as it is, they have good chance.
