The "Bipasha" factor

Counting has begun in six states. Strangely, looks like Congress has not been hit as badly due to 26/11 at Mumbai. Congress leading in Delhi (an urban stronghold), Rajasthan and Mizoram.

“Experts” on CNN-IBN are attributing it to the “Bipasha” factor. I had a tough time figuring out what this factor really means. Was Bipasha Basu campaigning for the Congress? Was Bipasha the name of the daughter of some politician, and was campaigning vigorously for the Congress?

Now I find that the “Bipasha” factor is the “Bijli, Pani and Sadak” factor. The electricity, water and roads factor. Congress has delivered Bipasha in Delhi, and seems to be making a strong comeback.
