Dec 09, 2013

The results of the Assembly elections for Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Delhi — with the BJP getting the better of the Congress in a telling fashion overall — must send the country’s ruling party scurrying back to the drawing boards if it plans to make a fight of it in the next Lok Sabha election in a few months’ time.
