The CNN-IBN-CSDS survey this week projected the BJP bagging 61-71 seats in the 90-member assembly in the election to be held later this month (November 11 and 19). It pinned the Congress tally to between 16-24 seats. Curiously, the survey did not seem to please BJP functionaries in the state. A glum Naresh Gupta, who heads the BJP’s legal cell (elections), asserted that such surveys with over-the-top projections actually only tend to damage the party’s prospects. “While party workers are left euphoric and engage in premature celebrations, Congress workers will work harder,” he explained. Retired bureaucrat and astute state observer Dr Sushil Kumar Trivedi, asked for his reaction, wryly says, “Achchi kahaani hai.”
