Some Interesting figures
· Total Number of seats 545
· Total number of candidates: 5398
· Highest Number of votes 855543 in favour of SAJJAN Kumar, Chandni Chowk
o Lowets Number of Votes 45 for Ashok Kumar, Chandni Chowk

· A total of 369 parties, including 7 national parties, were in the election foray.
· Total number of EVM(Electronic voting machines used) 10.25 lacs. This saved 8000 Metric tones of paper

· 8 parties who had won last time scored a duck this time.
o Prominent among them are the PMK, remember ex health minister with all hues and cry over AIMS and sutta in bollywood.

o LJP(Lok Janshakti party) remember our ex & ex & ex Railway minister Ram Vilas paswan who somehow managed to be a cabinet minister in all the governments whether it be NDA or UPA
o
· Some high Profile loosers: Lalu Yadav, Ram Vilas Paswan, Vinod Khanna, Mani shankar aiyaar

Lalu lost from patliputra. If he had pre poll alliance with Congress, he would have won this seat by ~5000votes
Anyways, Lalu had also lost from Sharad Yadav of JD(U) once. So do not repent Lalu jee, rather try to work for the people of saran other wise next time also you will have to run for elections from 2-3 places.


· Bal Thakrey asks Marathi Manoos “The saffron march continued in rest of the state but Mumbai and Thane have given me pain at this age”
o “The Marathi voter, who strayed away from the Sena, should explain to us why he did so and what harm had Shiv Sena done to him”
o Bal thakrey is 82 Yrs old
I feel Thakrey should introspect as to what he has done for the state apart from creating marathi Manoos and Bihari bhaiya divide

· Astrological predictions: Reeta Shankar Seth had predicted that Congress will make government in 2009 elections. She had predicted Congress victory in 2004 elections aswell. However, the interesting point is Mr. Manmohan Sinhg will be a temporary PM to be succeded by rahul gandhi
