You may have read my thread about how Bakhi can still win (it's a long shot...but hey a girl can dream) this here is my take on why Ballu can take this whole thing...he could just be way smarter the. Anyone has given him credit for!!!
(I've already posted this theory in the AT...but it deserves a new thread)
If Ballu he does vote for Ratan as his primary vote and himself as secondary...then Ratan would lose out to him in the end...his plan could be to promise Bakhi that all his votes would vote for Bakhi as a secondary choice if Bakhi's peeps vote him as a second choice...and if you have to have a primary and secondary vote as Sneha was saying...with a first choice and second choice...then people voting for Ratan would most likely vote for Ballu as their second choice...and there you have it Ballu wins!!!
