No way. Looking at the Rahul's desperation, he will be the PM candidate. And that will be the sad moment in history of our country, unfortunately.
Try to find out fool in a deal. If you can't find one, it's you.

I hope , he wont be. He will be part of the govt as minister trying to understand the governance but someone senior will be PM.

Don't know if you meant that as sarcasm but that's actually a hard truth.
If the Congress had anyone else as their PM candidate, I repeat - any sane person except him, I would have at least given a thought about voting them this time. And it's just not me I am very much sure.

He's 86 years old for god's sake! Don't they have anyone else who will be as useless as him? How about Rahul Gandhi? He's way more useless than MMS I am sure.

I disagree. Even if mind is sound, physical strength and stamina is equally important (for heavily busy schedules, speeches, foreign trips, party work, etc). At least I wouldn't want a PM who remained in the bed out sick most of his tenure.

No what I implied was I don't care the number of seats BJP+ win, I just want them to reach the majority mark - just to keep Rahul Gandhi from the PM's seat.
But if you insist, here's my prediction:
BJP -> ~190
Allies -> ~85 with same assumption as yours

BJP has been shouting that 2019 election is about Modi.
"Phir Ek baar Modi Sarkar" One more time Modi govt.
But yet they don't want to talk about the first Govt tenure. They want to talk about Nehru and Rajiv.. Did we go into time wrap into past?
Then there is this video where in the town hall/panchayat meeting people asking the present BJP MP what they did in the past 5 years for them to vote back.
They answered "Bharat Mata ki Jai"

The problem is that talking about what they did during their tenure does not suit their agenda for the general elections.
The agenda is nationalism and apparently "Hindutva".
What everyone needs to understand is that being nationalist does not relieve you from the responsibilities of running a state/nation.
Having said that, they do not always shy away from questions about their rule (not all of them).
I would also like to talk about WB but think it's futile.

I agree but there are some good schemes which worked at ground level.
Mudra loan and gas connection worked . They can say that in next tenure they will tweak and make it more affordable but they are not.
WB is a burning pot only for for one simple reason. Eye for an Eye.
In south, BJP nationalist and divisive politics did not get traction cos people just ignored it and BJP cannot bark on a wall all time.
But in Bengal, Both TMC and Left have violence in their DNA, and so BJP started the same, they had to face the massive backlash in form of violence and its getting worse as days go by.

When the Congress and Mamata and Mayawati and others are busy shoveling Muslim and dalit votes by the name of intolerance, Islamophobia, Save the Constitution and other crap, why not?

True that but that will matter only if the opposition understands and effectively pin-points that in their election campaigns. They are hardly doing so.

Two wrongs don't make a right. And people will not make the mistake of ignoring that, be it NDA, UPA or any other political outfit.

You are again ignoring how it works in India. See what[^] happened yesterday, if you know the background of course.
By your comment, if people particularly in rural areas, hadn't ignored such things and voted ONLY for development, most of the current veterans would have been nowhere in the picture. And if the Congress do get in power in 2019 it will solely be because of the "72k promise", nothing else. And if you don't agree, do keep an eye on the results from rural constituencies on 23rd.

On a related note, there was a humorous tweet[^] I read a few days back. This is how it's working nowadays.
To add, it's not always BJP who dig out the past. When Modi said DRDO conducted an ASAT test, Rahul tweeted DRDO was founded in the Nehru era. When China blocked ban on Azher, Rahul said he was released by BJP in the first place. When Modi said India conducted surgical strikes, Congress again said we did that too in our times. There are many other examples as well.
To summarise, not just BJP, the Congress as well want to benefit from the past and keep on digging out their achievements and failures of BJP from the past.

Why? Don't you see it, Till now Past govt never used armed forces as a poll issue. Both NDA 1 and Cong govt did the job and kept quite.

I'm talking about the claim of surgical strikes nothing more.
No surgical strikes before 2016: RTI | Deccan Herald[^]
Also, the use of armed forces is used to reinforce the narrative that the Modi govt. is a decisive one and isn't afraid to take necessary action along the border to keep the national interests safe.
I'm afraid I cannot say the same about the UPA govt.
