| Summary/Abstract |
At no time was an election anywhere in the country awaited with so
much interest as it was for Assam, West Bengal, Tamilnadu and Kerala
this time around. It appeared as if the country was waiting with bated
breath, not so much for how the results would pan out in the above
states, but rather how the BJP as a party would fare in them. Hence,
Assam was of great interest to political observers as it was the one
state where the BJP had the greatest chance of forming a government.
And indeed the BJP has got itself a strong foothold to make its presence
in the so-called Christian dominated states of the North-East.
