The Telegraph has an article about a new pre-poll survey that predicts a reduced majority for the NDA, saying that the “feel good” factor seems to be wearing thin, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Not sure about Andhra Pradesh, but I’d buy that for the BIMARU states, the north-east, and Bengal (Note: Calcutta’s baby steps into IT do not count as the number of people they touch are still very limited). Given the the relative lack of opportunities there, “India Shining” is about one of the most alienating lines pols can reel out in those states.
