Indian democracy is still alive and kicking. The recent elections to the two States of Maharashtra and Haryana have proved it. All the exit polls had virtually written off Congress, ncp and other parties in these two States. All have to eat the humble pie as their calculations have gone haywire. The bjp, having tasted massive victory in the recent Lok Sabha elections, thought that the Ram-Laxman jodi of Modi and Amit Shah talking about Centre’s achievements of Article 370 in Kashmir or Balakot strike would sway the voters and they would come back to power with a sweeping majority... but they have been jolted.
