Elections 2004
The Plot Thickens
It's becoming neck and neck, with two major news channels putting a cap on the NDA tally at around 250 with the Congress plus Left Front adding up to around the same. Enter Mulayam and Maya. Perhaps we could call it a SoftIllusion? It's not just who will be the PM but also perhaps who could be hisdeputies.
