Scenario 1: The BJP led alliance falls short of the halfway mark and quickly pulls in a few regional parties to form a majority. This was the talk of the town yesterday.
Scenario 2: The BJP improves on its tally from 2014. This might not be likely.
Scenario 3: The BJP does less well than in 2014 but still manages to cross the majority mark and forms another government for five years.
Scenario 4: The arithmetic is tri-polar: the BJP led alliance, the Congress-led alliance which is much smaller, and the non-BJP, non-Congress Federal Front alliance which asks the Congress for outside support to form a government.
Right now scenario one seems to be in the air. People are talking about it. But nobody knows for sure.
Somebody like the Orissa chief minister Patnayak might be willing to support the BJP led alliance in the case the need arises.
