Tuesday, January 27, 2004 Vajpayee's election gamble - BBC "The polls are due by October but are now expected to be brought forward to April or May following the cabinet's decision to seek the dissolution of parliament on 6 February. Perhaps the biggest incentive for early elections is India's booming economy. With foreign exchange reserves of more than $100bn, a rising stock market index and an economic growth rate around 8%, the Vajpayee government wants to tap in on what's being described as the 'feel good' factor." |
