2014: Doing The Math For Nitish
हिन्दी: देश के उप राष्ट्रपति मोहम्मद हामिद अंसारी पटना में पूर्व मुख्यमंत्री सत्येन्द्र नारायण सिन्हा(छोटे साहब) की 94वीं जयंती पर आयोजित व्याख्यानमाला श्रंखला पर पूर्व सांसद किशोरी सिन्हा और मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार के साथ (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Congress 150
NCP 10
BJP 130
Shiv Sena 10
AIADMK 10
Congress + BJP = 310
JD(U) 30
Trinamool Congress 20
SP 20
BSP 20
DMK 20
CPI(M) 15
BJD 15
TDP 10
Total = 150
Others = 84
150 + 84 + 150 (Congress) = 384
150 + 150 = 300 --- that is a comfortable majority
Nitish would not need the "Others" but could easily get most of them.

A Federal Front Plus Congress With Nitish At The Helm
A coalition of regional parties, all in power, with a total tally larger than that of the Congress or the BJP but needing the support of the Congress to cross over the majority mark is what I see happening in 2014. That would make Nitish Prime Minister of India. And that would be awesome.
Federal Front is a great name for that coalition of regional parties. I can see the JD(U) winning at least 30 seats in Bihar. That Federal Front need not bring together all regional parties and all non-Congress, non-BJP parties.

I have been impressed with Modi's economic record, but I have been more impressed with Nitish' economic record. And Rahul has the option to wait.
