Election Results

The people have finally spoken out.They have proved all the exit polls wrong and have ushered back an era of Gandhian Dynasty ( Shouldn't it be called Nehruvian Dynasty ?).The India Shining more than helping the BJP I guess created a backlash among the 80% electorate for whom it was not shining.Water,Electricity,Good Raods,Food became bigger issues than FDI,Global Back office and Indo-Pak Cricket.Also Local issues like Telengana,Amma's tiff with Govt employees,powerful alliances by Congress worked against the NDA.

Congress too has some bright faces in Manmohan Singh,P.Chidambaram,Natwar Singh,Pranab Mukherjee not to forget young stalwarts like Jyotiraditya Scindia,Sachin Pilot,Milind Deora.The Biggest concern would be the Left being part of the govt and hindering/slowing down the economic reforms process.The valuable lesson to be learnt at the end of the day is do not ignore the Rural common man.Only if Rural India shines , the Real India will shine.

  • I am happy and unhappy about the election results. Not that I am unhappy ofcongress come back and unhappy of BJP's ousting. Iam happy that Sri Subramaniaswamy is rejectedwith only 5100 votes and unhappy that communists has routed considerably with more than 50 MPs. It is a pity that even china and Russia have rejected them but Democratic country like India patronise them with reward ruining the country's development. TRC
