Summary:
There is an unusual calm in the political circles even after a devastating outrage by cyclone Fani that destroyed the green fabrics of capital city but could not diminish the political nerves.
Which, after the Sunday exit poll results, have thrown open myriad questions starring at the politicians including the chief minister of Odisha, Naveen Patnaik who seems to be on a tight rope as regards the Lok sabha number games.

Did anything went awry in BJD calculations?
Undisputedly a reason for the BJD here to look back.
From 20 out 0f 21 in 2014, predictions are little worrisome, and adding to such worries are the exulted outburst of claims by an upbeat Bharatiya Janaata Party cadre here to form the next government in Odisha.
And all that rest on the results of the exit polls conducted by some agencies across the country.
Then some leaders from the BJP add fuel into the fire.
Like Damodar Rout in his earlier interactions with the media had predicted that the BJD on its own can’t come back to power hence, Rout foresaw a possible alliance with the BJP.
But, after the exit polls of Sunday, he hold a changed view.
He said that the BJD which seems falling far short of a majority might strike a deal with the Congress in Odisha.
