Lose to win!
It is reported (DS May 17, Indian columnist) that the Indian general elections (exit polls) generated a change or loss of about Tk 55,000 crore in the Bombay share market. The money was not buried and did not become unusable, but went into unexpected hands. Manipulation suspected (remember what happened in Dhaka SE some years ago?)
Well, don't mind losing political elections if there were indirect gains which are more useful as future asset. Betting on exit polls may be a new game in this part of the world-after all, now politics is big business, and it is an open secret. Make hay while the sun does not shine! What's for we innocent onlookers and voters?
