Here is a link covering the elections comprehensively

In the name of young blood, Congress has some faces that only represent dynastic succession, Rahul himself, Sachin Pilot etc. These 'young' have no vision. They only make parrot like speeches. The Kerala Chief Minister aptly described these persons as 'Amul babies'. Thiswas in response to Rahul Gandhi making a dig at advanced age of the C.M. However, he ignored in his misplaced zeal that he was asking voters to support Karuna Nidhi of same advanced age but in wheel chair unlike the Kerala C.M. who is physically stronger than many youth.

West Bengal C.M. is not very certain to win back his assembly seat. First time, he is facing the challenge.

Both DMK and AIADMK are seen assaulting each other at the meetings. It is really funny to watch them campaigning for their parties.

Polls for Assam assembly elections areover with seventy percent voting.

The campaign in Kerala is getting very interesting with witty remarks annd retorts. Congress is hopeful owing to incumbancy factor that may go against Left Front.

I witnessed a rally by Jayalalitha nd there was a huge crowd and lot of excitement among crowd:)

There are two alliances both headed by Dravidian parties. The campaign ends. If corruption is really an issue, DMK alliance should lose.

Last day of campaign is over & tomorrow is the big day!

My state Kerala is going to booth tomorrow.I had no election duty this time and hence can view it tension free!

Here are some links on assembly elections. The verbal attack on rival parties is visible. Amul Baby comment is very hurting to Congress. Sushma Swaraj of BJP commented that sonia Gandhi in three different meetings asked voters to support Left front. She also commented on Rahul gandhi remarks on Chief Minister Achuthanandan little realizing that Karunanidhi is also so old.

Congress expects victory in Kerala as well as in West Bengal.

Pranab Mukherjee laments withdrawal of support by left from last UPA. If Left corrects itself by accepting advice of Pranab, very likely next elections Congress will contest by allying with Left against Mamata.

The elections in Kerala and Tamilnadu today are crucial. Pondicherry also goes to polls. Karunanidhi and Achuthanandan both are octogenerian. There is tradition of change of ruling party in Kerala. Karunanidhi's DMK is involved in 2g scam. Hence both face stiff battle. Congress is a minor force in Tamilnadu as well as West Bengal. But Congress is leading UDA in Kerala. Amul babies may get a chance in Kerala.

Guklshan,
You had updated the news about the elections in a very good manner.Thanks for all these updations.

The situation in certain areas in West Bengal is not conductive to fair polls.

Election is over now and in Kerala 74% voting is done.. Now we wait for result..

Mamata Banerje is confident that Left rule will end. She also says that BJP and Congress diddidents are CPM Agents. If so, why CPI(M) can not have agents in Trinmool also.

Will congress rebels spoil Mamata's hopes. This is crucial issue.

AIADMK alliance is hopeful of winning. However, it is to be seen whether AIADMK gets majority on its own. Generally, Jaya Lalitha does not stick to election allies once the elections are over. If she gets even a few seats less than clear majority, she may persuade allies to support her fromoutside.

I think in Tamilnad both AIADMK and DMK practice this.
