While the INDI Alliance did not declare any leader, Rahul Gandhi is seen as the most prominent politician in the bloc and has played a decisive role in bringing together different parties and reaching seat-sharing arrangements.
If the exit polls come true, it will be a big setback for Rahul who has been the chief opponent of Narendra Modi for more than a decade.
Despite his failure to sway the voters with his agenda, Rahul might as well continue just like before. He might think he needs better transmission and elaboration of his ideas.
He might also continue with his aggressive style, hoping to mobilise voters
.... against Modi, sooner or later. His aggression, after all, helps him project himself as the biggest opponent of Modi, says a piece in 'The Economic Times'.

Shashi Tharoor, Congress, optimistic of his win against BJP's Rajeev Chandrashekhar
"I am perfectly aware that Thiruvananthapuram is the BJP's strongest constituency in Kerala, that on two occasions they have come second and therefore they are entirely capable of coming second again.
But the possibility that they can win is, at the moment, a remote one because there has to be some basis for it. We have looked all over the place, there was no wave...In a three-cornered contest, there has to be nonetheless either a perception of what exactly the constituency is lacking in its present arrangement for a major anti-incumbency to occur or there has to be a perception that there is something wonderful about the alternative...
I can tell you that none of us have seen anything that will justify any concern on our part. We are quite relaxed going into tomorrow's counting," he said
