sHAMBUJI,
Appreciate your detailed post. I have a negative approach. It is like this:
1. What are the States where the BJP is a non-entity? How many seats are there? How much of it goes to the congress and how much goes to the non-congress?
2. Likewise what are the States where the Congress is shut out? How many seats are there? How much of it goes to the BJP and how much goes to the non-congress?
3. What are the states where both the Congress and the BJP are non-entities? How many seats are there? How much of it goes to the BJP and how much Congress. We know the Communists are in this category confined to Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura.
4. In this method we can easily infer the strength of non-congress but pro-congress parties such as the communists, Lalu's RJD, Karunanidhi's DMK, Rebel congress parties etc. on whom the Congress could rely to form a Govt. being its head or tail. I am sure they won't come anywhere near the magic number of 272.
5. This time there will be a block of 'non-BJP, non-Congress, non-communist' MPs who will not be prone to the idea of either the BJP or Congress forming a Govt. but would like to form a Govt. with BJP's support. This front include parties of Jaya, Maya, TDP, etc. I would say that the BJP should actively forster such a front and have a say as to who should head the Govt. If the BJP can persuade the least potent but most able person to head such a govt. for example Dr.Subramanian Swamy as the P.M., this country can benefit a lot.
