This is a supposedly 'India' election train being brought out by the BBC, which is a sham for the basic fact that it does not cover south India. Hyderabad in itself does not reflect in any small sense all of south India, I expected atleast Bangalore, if not the four metros. Madras(Chennai) and Bangalore have been left out. To any foreigner who does not know much about India this 'train' gives the false impression that the routes covered(Delhi to Ahmedabad to Hyderabad to Calcutta) represent all of India, which is absolutely untrue. If anyone knows, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka alone can take down any government at the centre. As I have some sense of what real India is about, it angers me that the high command did not bother to go any further south than the upper Deccan plateau. What a sham.
To any BBC person: try as you might, you have not and for a long time will not feel the true pulse of the nation.

I personally think that the BBC Election Train is a flop. For one, look at the number of comments for every entry...it's pretty pathetic.
Next, it's impossible in this eventful world for anyone to be hooked on to the month long 5 phase election marathon...people lose interest after 1 phase. Probably, the interest might be revived on the counting day.
