[QUOTE="blr_p, post: 2154178, member: 10952"] Was listening to a talk about the Yogi adityanath and an interesting point was made. In states where BJP are the incumbent they declare who the CM is before the polls. In states where they aren't the incumbent they only declare the CM after the polls. The reason is simple. Political management. There are factions in the party and moment a decision is taken will work against the party because their guy wasn't chosen. This was demonstrated very well in Delhi where the BJP was routed. Shouldn't have said Kiran would be CM before the polls. It also explains why they came up short in Karnataka. People say Congress got the popular vote. They did. The reason is clustering. You don't need tens of thousands of votes to beat another candidate. You need those votes across constituencies That is why with 36% popular vote, BJP gets 104 and Congress only manages 78 with 37% I also heard Congress didn't contest in all constituencies due to shortages of cadres. However BJP did. It's clear their management at the booth level is superior. That is when they aren't fighting among themselves Saffron wave or just plain better management :) The then opposition alleged corruption, yes that is part of it but management in the end is the ultimate decider [/QUOTE]
