Correspondingly, for the assembly, 139 SP, 135 BSP, 50 Congress.

That would be a winning formula to go for. But first Akhilesh has to cultivate a laser focus on development. No coalition building can beat Modi if you don't compete with him on development.

Could this coalition come together, or will it wait until the BJP also gives a drubbing to these three at the state level?

Narendra Modi has become the politician I read most about these days. Deep inside it is my suspicion that he might be India's Lee Kuan Yew, that he might be India's Deng Xiaoping. I need Modi to give India double digit growth rates, year in, year out, no dips, no recessions. Double digit is not eight per cent, not nine per cent. Double digit is 10% or more.

Culturally speaking I am an Indian. I am an Indian who grew up in Nepal. And I want Modi to succeed. I like his laser focus on the economy. I like his no nonsense attitude of management. I like his decisiveness.
