Since this is season of electoral projections, thought why not me? Ok , actually I had done this exercise in Nov. I am not a psephologist, have no knowledge of statistical methods of predicting election outcomes. These projections are based on people I interacted with from various locations across India, between Sept to Nov. Also these are projections for NDA which in Nov only meant BJP+ShivSena+Akali Dal.Interestingly my optimistic projections totalled to 272. That was just a coincidence :).
