UPA again

Finally the Indian elections are over and UPA has come out on the top . This election was a game changer in many ways and for many people

1. Congress doubling its seat in UP ( from 10 in '04 to 20 in '09)
2. Limiting the Lefts to a handful of seats as compared to what was being proclaimed by them.
3. Loss of the constituencies by heavy weights like Lalu Prasad, Ram Bilas and others.

1. Congress doubling its seat in UP :- For all those who know about Indian elections , they might be aware how important it is for any party that wants to form the government to do well in Uttar Pradesh. I believe this time , it has been the best performance of Congress in UP in a very long period of time . UP has 80/543 seats in Parliament and I don't think its necessary to do well, but it definitely helps the party if they do well in UP. As I had already mentioned in my very first post ( back in December '08) that its time that youths should play more vital role in the today's politics and we already saw the result of it. Kudos to Rahul Gandhi for making it a successful elections for Congress in UP . Seriously, it was his idea to go alone in UP ( instead of contesting jointly with SP ) and he lead the whole campaign from the front. I know that its too early to say that just because he led a successful campaign in UP doesn't necessarily mean that he will be a good leader, but what I think is that he can be trusted . I like Rahul and would be interesting to see what he does next .

2. Limiting the Lefts to a handful of seats as compared to what was being proclaimed by them :- All these four years , they tried to play their cards, trying to block the nuclear deal and pressurizing the government from not doing what they ( lefts ) not want to be done. I think its good for the country because we all know that who is the Boss and the onus lies on Congress/UPA to prove what they have been chosen for ( and I hope that they will come out with flying colors)

3. Loss of the constituencies by heavy weights like Lalu Prasad and others:- Glad that people chose to elect mainstream parties rather than regional ones . Does it mean that its time to quit regional/caste ism based politics and start thinking about the real problems and real solutions? I am so glad that BSP/SP/RJD all didnt do fairly in this election. For once, we wont live under the fear that someone like Mayawati might actually become a PM ( thank god ).



I am not sure but this may be the end of Advaniji's career. I always liked him as a leader but I do not confer with the ideologies of his party. BJP should try to reshape itself as an agenda based party rather than being communal party. And if they are not a communal party then definitely they should start thinking about re-marketing themselves coz clearly voters didn't think otherwise.

All the best to the UPA government, may they lead India towards being a more successful,strong, prosperous and most of all a happy and proud nation.
