Manmohan's Nostradamus
Contrary to popular belief that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was worried about getting a fractured mandate, if insiders in 7 Race Course Road are to be believed the Prime Minister was brimming with confidence.
Two days before the election results he was told by a Lucknow-based faith healer, Vimal Singh that he would get an overwhelming number of seats in the Lok Sabha elections and that he would not need the support of the Left parties to run his government.
Obviously the Prime Minister had reasons to trust his faith healer given the fact he had earlier predicted in 2007 that the Prime Minister would survive the Trust Vote, and that his arch rival L.K. Advani would never become the Prime Minister, so full marks to PM's Nostradamus.
