Ravishji,
It's easy to pick and choose what one wants to fit the results we want to look at.
BJP still is leader of opposition and not much has changed in that regard. It's problem in vaccum in leadership which will be created post LKA. By and large the bigger loosers in this election are the sundries like Lalloo, Maya, Paswan, Jaya, Naidu, Karat, Yechury, Mulayam etc who have played king-maker in past.
On your assessment of Orissa, if BJD-BJP rift wasn't there, things would have been different. Talking religious issues - check out the infamous Malegoan case where majority muslims sent Shiv Sena guy to LS.
