INC + commies are going to loose voteshare if they go for elections right now. Inflation will immediately become a big issue. At the same time whether BJP is going to gain is not certain. In general BJP has a choice of just depending on anti-incumbency or generating pro-BJP support.
If they depend on anti-incumbency there is a real danger that we will have DeveGowda/Gujral type PM with commies giving outside support.

Gootyji, The anti-incumbency benefits different parties in different states. There are of course other factors that play in the election as we have seen in Rajasthan and Delhi.
One hope is that the NDA headed by the BJP comes to power and do things having learnt lessons from its fall from power of the prev. NDA govt that appeased to the so called non-congress parties at the expense of the Hindus.
There is a chance that this hope could be dashed with all the negative factors at play.
Unfortunately neither the Congress nor the BJP is a dominant party in majority of the states. Therefore the non-Congress, non-BJP parties become trump cards in the formation of the government at the center. In such circumstance, one slight hope for us is to bring about an anti-congress govt. with BJP support which is not the same as NDA headed by the BJP.
I wonder if anything else is viable.
