According to the latest opinion polls the BJP is expected to get about 230 seats while the Congress may not reach the three digit figure. Opinion polls are not always right on the mark but most of the time they reflect the general opinion trend. So a situation may arise when the BJP may not require the support many of the regional parties to form the next Government.
The voting is still a few weeks away .Meanwhile, before the electorate a new situation has been presented. The BJP has displaced and replaced many of the old guards and as such a larger number of younger candidates have been fielded. This may catch the imagination of the voters to vote for the younger generation cutting across communal and regional lines. The relentless political debates in the electronic media will also expected to have its impact on the voter. The mood of the electorate in certain areas of the country is already showing the impact . The average voter is today more concerned about speedy economic development , generation of more employment etc. So it is possible that these considerations may disturb the traditional vote banks of the various political parties.
In view of the above developments, it appears that the political alignment may undergo major changes post elections. However, it is to be seen whether the new Government will be able to bring in dynamic youngsters as Ministers to carry forward the development agenda of the worldââ¬â¢s largest democracy, or it will be the same old wine in a new bottle.
