in all of the opinion that in all range of many are saying that the a, b and the coalition, the india can come back to follow many. i think that is that it may not be because the opposition parties, even though there's not perfect symmetry between them, but they have succeeded in establishing an ally and they have succeeded in distribution of deep across the country. they're trying to put up a good time. now if their renter moody does when as a is expected, what, what can we expect from his, the 10 as well. there have been many promises uh that the assignment as it has made. in fact you've been calling them his lesson a guaranteed. so that has been a month to meet up with the length of the b to b. they have gone to be elected with the promise of more these guarantees. and they have been promising everything uh from uh, from the electricity to taking the country as becoming the uh, 3rd uh, to get the economy in the well, there is a, there was
