The voter is king just as customer is king. I agree with the Muslims didn't vote for 'xx' is a cop out for the real reasons for defeat is the party couldn't get enough people to vote for it.
Looks like same lie was fed to PP guy.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This is NO mandate against BJP for the following reasons:
1. Nationwide BJP lost about 16 seats.
2. At the local level, <b>BJP lost 17 seats in Rajastan alone which is mainly the result of congress's tribal division politics and 7 seats in Orissa due to the division in vote. </b>
Probably, Orissa was never a BJP stronghold. <b>BJP did not loose any other state.
</b>
3. <b>Congress pulled coup in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. How that happened
would be interesting study. But in neither of those states, there is any pro-congress
swing.</b>
It is neither a mandate for Congress. <b>It is a readjustment of political preferences of the voters. In UP and Bihar, voters got fedup with the local parties and choose national parties. In Bengal and Kerala, it is anti-incumbancy at work. In AP, it is a further division of the vote on the caste preferences.</b>
