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???
Wud disagree wid one point here n den try to put my point of view across on some of da questions posed in the end. I dont think the Congress has had much to do with the wipin out of the Lalu-Paswan combine. In fact, it considers Lalu as its oldest ally and hence has approached him even though his contibution in terms of Lok Sabha seats might be insignificant.
ReplyDeleteI think Advani has decided to kind of retire as he has seen that there is no hope for him to sit on the highest seat as 5 yrs down the line is goin to be too late for him. But, that only deepens the leadership issues in BJP. Modi is no way going to leave Gujarat to be the leader of opposition and that leaves us with a very weak BJP as the major opposition.
As far as Ajit Singh is considered, he has changed sides thrice before and after every assembly or parliament election. So, the less said about him, the better it is. Finally coming to Rahul Gandhi, I hope he does get ministerial experience before staking a serious claim to be MM's successor. Also, it would be most absurd to make him "a cabinet minister without a portfolio" as is being suggested in some corners.
agreed on the Bihar front....
ReplyDeletebut as of Advani, news is that he has agreed to become the opposition leader....but ya he can't sit on the hot seat now...
Rahul..yes he deserves to be a cabinet minister with some important portfolio!!!
well written article dude.
ReplyDeleteI hope the results were due to a positive change in the ideology of Indian Voter, not sure who he really is.
Kudos to rahul gandhi for his sincerity. He may not be the most shrewd politician but like his mom he is honest, sincere, hard working and has the best intrst of the country in mind.
Also, I hope BJP puts an end to its Hindutva policy. though with modi and varun doing well, i dont think tht they will.
