Singh plugged the hole in his coalition created by the withdrawal of the leftist parties by teaming up with the democratic socialist Samajwadi Party, whose 39 seats almost make up for votes lost to the left. (One Samajwadi Party leader, Amar Singh, is a pro-American industrialist who has a framed picture of the Brooklyn Bridge hanging in his office.)
