So what does unofficial result say dudes?Who is leading so far?
These elections will be very exciting. AAP has a very strong grip here in the northern region, especially Punjab
lol... the AAP might end up with Zero seats. In an already polarized election, they shamelessly tried to woo radical Muslims like Mukhtar Ansari and Imam Bukhari. This will cost them the secular Hindu votes.

Ab Ki Baar, Modi Sarkaar 
Too early to say. Even if the NDA gets 270-280 seats, the anti-Modi faction within the BJP (Sushma Swaraj and LK Advani) will try their best to sabotage his PM candidature. One of the NDA constituents (Shiv Sena) is not keen on Modi becoming the PM. So, the picture will become clearer only after the results are announced on May 16th.
^^^ It is not a Modi wave, but a Modi tsunami.

I am going to vote for Modi only
A tweet from one of my friends (who is politically neutral):
Quote
Lady in my polling booth in Bangalore couldn't find Modi on the EVM. Asked aloud which button! Room burst into laughter.
One of the replies to that tweet:

My domestic help too went and asked the official - which button for Narendra Modi !

Modi will most likely be the next India PM
Then that will be bad news for the US. He has been denied visa to the US, at the request of some of the Democrat Party senators such as Keith Ellison.
A few days ago Modi appeared on 'Aap Ki Adalat' with Rajat Sharma.
This question was raised, about USA denying visa to Modi. He mocked it by saying "We'll make India a better place than USA and people from USA will have to stand in queue to apply for an Indian visa"

Latest opinion polls predicts a simple majority for the opposition NDA:
What unexpected news are! I wonder what will happen next
I don't think that bribes made using direct transaction to voters. It seems that bitcoin is used to transact money to local NGO, which converts it into USD/EUR/whatever and then use it to bribe voters.
Yes. That is exactly what is happening. The Indian Election Commission is monitoring every large financial transaction made during this time. So the political parties are finding it really hard to transfer large sums of money, to bribe people. (Political parties in India do that regularly, bribing voters with cash, in addition to clothes and alcohol).
This is really getting interesting. Bitcoins being used for bribing voters in India. I knew that India was a very innovative place with a very young and tech savvy population. But I never expected this.

What is the impact of this on India's recently introduced plan to subsidize food to the peasants (who can't eat 3X per day)?
Which ever party is elected to the parliament will be forced to continue with this policy. Else there will be riots.
India is one of the worst places for a libertarian to live. 50% of the jobs are reserved for certain ethnic groups (includes some very affluent groups). In US also there is an affirmative action program, but it is not this worse.
Also, India is having a huge informal sector. Only around 2% of the population pay any income tax, and they are exploited very heavily. Most of the emigrants from India are from this sector. Of the rest, some 18% work as merchants and other informal employees, and don't pay any tax. There is another 80%, which lives on the welfare benefits.
Thank you for confirming my grim macroeconomic outlook for India.

LOL.. I wonder how many of the voters will understand what these politicians are offering when they say 'Bitcoins'.

India is running a huge fiscal deficit and if that food program is not halted, India will eventually go into currency crisis and default.
Communism fails. The solution for India is to get the State out of all the affairs and let the people act freely. But the problem is the caste system is too ingrained.
I have a very negative macroeconomic outlook on India until it defaults and resets. Long-term India's population will rise in the Knowledge Age, i.e. the microeconomics are dynamic and resilient. But on the macro scale there are 100s of millions not yet educated. Will take decades.
