Today's twitter updates
10:48
If the UPA can form a government on their own, without the Left and the SP, there is hope that this government will be a lot better.
#
10:50
Impressive: RT @m_mekin Karnataka results here
karnatakaelections2009.gov.in/.
#
11:01
Very refreshing to see Shashi Tharoor on NDTV. I hope Tharoor as foreign affairs minister isn't just a whim.
#
11:13
Many performing but long term incumbent CMs doing remarkably well: Modi, Shiela Dixit, Nitish, SS Chauhan, Patnaik...
#
11:19
Major spoilers this time: Raj Thackeray, Vijay Kanth and Chiranjeevi. Chiru in fact has been more than just a spoiler.
#
11:24
Biggest winners: TMC & Mamata in WB, Cong in UP,Rajasthan and Kerala, Chiru in AP
#
11:25
Surprisingly holding on: DMK in TN, Patnaik in Orissa, Cong and NCP in Maharashtra
#
11:26
Biggest losers: Left in WB & Kerala, Lalu and Paswan in Bihar, Akalis in Punjab.
#
11:28
Opportunist losers: PMK and brigade in TN, TRS in Andhra.
#
11:30
Heavy weights trailing: Mani Shankar Aiyar, Chidambaram, Jaswant Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi....
#
11:31
#indiavotes09 is now a trending topic and I just forgot to tag so many tweets with that!
#
12:11
If Rajnath is still wondering why Kar and Mah let BJP down. I've one letter for him: 'M'. M for Malegaon & M for Mutalik. #indiavotes09.
#
12:15
@
shettyb
With less than 5 seats, Cong has no obligation to include Lalu and Paswan in the government.
#
12:24
Cong, NCP & TMC is basically the Cong(I) of old - 225 in all -- very close to the 1991 number, I guess. #indiavotes09
#
12:31
@
shettyb
You are right in a way, but these issues have a larger impact on the image of the party. They are not so localized. #indiavotes09
#
12:32
BJP also close to 1991 number, like Cong. I hope an Ayodhya is not in order! #indiavotes09.
#
13:27
In WB, Kerala, AP, TN - places were Cong has gained mainly, BJP has virtually no presence. And that's nearly 150 seats. #indiavotes09
#
15:21
This quite clearly is a vote against the third, fourth and the sundry fronts. #indiavotes09
#
15:24
BJP's major lacunae: young leadership, strong issues, national presence. They have some hard choices to make. #indiavotes09.
#
15:32
@
shettyb
Renuka has been quite a loose canon. News is just in that she lost. #indiavotes09.
#
15:39
Does anyone have confirmed news about Chidambaram? #indiavotes09.
#
15:45
@
shettyb
I heard there was a recounting ordered after the results were first announced around 1:30.
#
15:51
Most of congress' young turks have done well. Hope to see a much younger cabinet. Helps that Arjun and Natwar aren't around. #indiavotes09
#
16:06
RT @nnachi sivaganga recounting. last status is chidambaram leading by 2k votes.
#
16:08
Mukul Kesavan and Vir Sanghvi have been awesome as panelists. Prize catches by NDTV. #indiavotes09
#
16:25
BJP is a trending topic. What?! #indiavotes09
#
16:27
@
kadambariyer
Heh. She might, if you are insinuating Barkha being calm and quiet is a threat to national security.
#
16:29
RT @jyothirmayee #indiavotes09 Wow in just 2 minutes Congress replaced BJP in the top 10 trending topics! I wonder what is happening.
#
16:32
If Dr Singh completes a full term, he'll be the first since Nehru to do so. #indiavotes09

Hey, this post was very useful. I have been totally out of touch with the Indian election scene. Luckily a few colleagues here are more interested than me and I get to know tidbits.

Yeah, I hope Shashi Tharoor is drawn into the government some how. His victory is very encouraging.
