Rahul Gandhi + Youth + Gareeb Bharatiya = Congress victory

While the results of Indian Premier League are still awaited, results of Indian Political League are out and are quite welcoming. Congress has clearly won the elections and gained a thumping majority. The victory can be devoted to UP, West Bengal, Bihar, Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi and many more such states all over India where BJP and other local parties suffered setbacks. These elections have given many positives to the Indian politics.

The first and the foremost is the destruction of “Red Fort” of West Bengal, formed by the Left front. After so many years of their stern traditional sticky control over west, the Mamata Bannerjee brigade has destroyed the Jyoti Basu army and has created history.

Then comes UP. They had only 9 seats out of 80 in the last Lok Sabha which has seen a sharp increase this year to 21. The major losers were SP and BSP. So the dreams of Mulayam and Mayawati have been thrashed and the primary reason is Rahul Gandhi. It was his industrious efforts which led Congress to have its feet in UP after many years.

Bihar was another state which suffered the aberration. The balloon named Lalu Yadav deflated and his party got only 3 seats with himself defeated from one place. Even Paswan and his party suffered badly as well. We can expect something good out of this sweep out.

Even Shiv Sena in Maharashtra was way below in its performance and so were many local parties.

So can we conclude that the verdict of the Indian voter is changing!!! Is he now consciously giving his precious vote to the national parties only??? Is he using his judgement to wipe out inefficient people from the politics??? Is Indian politics on the verge of turnaround???

Well these questions can be better answered in the next elections only and that will be 5 years from now and this is almost certain. UPA will be making a government in which there will be no place for Left, Lalu or Paswan. But still they have given a call to Lalu as of now, the hazy picture will become more clearer in days to come.

But one thing is sure, these people will now have very less bargaining power and very less say in the govt working and hence the govt can impose the decisions which it wants to, more freely and without the fear of stepping down from power (I hope we remember what Left did during the Nuke Deal).

Stability, improved economy and a better politics is what we expect now from this government. Lets wait n watch what this govt. has in store for us!!!

But there are some questions which rose after the elections and are still unanswered. The BJP PM Candidate, who was termed as PM in waiting has refused to become the Opposition leader in Lok Sabha. So who will take his place??? What will be the future of LK Advani??? Who will be the next candidate from BJP??? Will it be Narendra Modi??? With Ajit Singh changing ends soon after the results, what is the loyalty of a member to his party??? Will Rahul Gandhi become a Cabinet minister??? 

My first VOTING Experience

Well...not a good time to start Voting!!! This was the first time I voted and the experience was seriously pathetic. I guess this is the thing which drives many youngsters away from politics and our country is still plagued by the old, not ready to leave politicians.

So, as a concerned citizen, I went to vote at 8:00 AM (trust me I don't even get up at 8 AM normally, not even during my exams). I was enthusiastic but there was something else waiting for me in the next 2 days of election "Mahaul". I saw the much hyped Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) and guess what, I got a shock (not an electrical shock by touching the machine)...it was like an asteroid coming from Mars and striking me right on my head. There were a couple of EVMs connected in series containing names of 30 odd candidates. The shock was these candidates were contesting elections from my own city and I knew the names of only 2 of them...even the people sitting there knew 14 candidates at max and according to my research in newspaper thereafter, I found out that only 5 or 6 candidates tried to do some campaigning on a bigger scale..big enough to win elections.

So if people don't know the candidates then how can they vote for them and if they can't then whats the purpose of placing another machine and adding to the colossal some of money spent in the elections.

My misery doesn't ends here. Next day, I was in Dausa for some work and I saw the biggest rally of my life. "Rally" will be demeaning as it was a POWER SHOW by the supporters of Kirodi lal Meena..I don't know what they were trying to prove...but were extremely happy as if he (hon. Kirori ji) won the election. They helped the common man by blocking the roads for 2 hours and threatening people who came in their way. The police and special force was just standing as a spectator waiting for them to leave and play with the law and order for as much time they wanted. If the ministers and the police are just adding to our woes, then whats the point in Voting!!!

I coudn't exercise the Section 49-0...I VOTE NOBODY and it hurts now....may be if many people do that, election commission should understand the public sentiment that none of the candidate was good enough to cast a vote for. Lets hope that the awareness of this one helps eliminating the non-qualified candidates and the democracy finds out a way towards improved politics.
