And the verdict is finally out.
I just loved it. Indians have finally chosen the right path to tread and congress, rightly, succeeding in its strategic intent. India always needed a stable governement who could convert it political manifesto into actions. And this is the time when our beloved Sardarji would be able to do that. If you analyze, you would find that congress had a clear laid out path from the beginning, more from the fact that other parties were scrambling to finalize who would be their neta. Reasons could be many, but I am sure that even the opposition would be happy today that we will have a stable government now.
This election has made clear one thing and that is: Gandhi family plays out its cards well and are in control of how things move in the political circle. With this win they have actually made sure that Congress will be in power for at least 10 years (barring any mishap, which may happen) – 2014 would be the year when junior Gandhi takes the throne. Is this the start of another legacy; I strongly believe so. And that may bring more good than bad to the politics. One thing is for sure that more young leaders will find their way to politics.
More from everything else, I am happy from the fact that this time cabinet will be pretty strong and you may see many forward looking policies to come on the table. Personally, I would like to see the youngs (or Mr Shashi Tharoor) to take on serious responsibilities of managing the external affairs; next 5 years may very well be the tranformational years for the governement and India.
I am glad that many are Indians are sharing good feelings about Election 2009. Congress taking 201 seats and totaling to 262 with her allies is a good news for many and looking for another 10 members from the leftover MPs is a job of wisdom that Congress will do. I loved Dheeraj’s note…!
Congratulations Indians! We must know that we as a nation has not chosen “Congress” but a party that has done good in last five years. It is not a personality influence but an honest analyzed voting that has been seen this time.
I certainly would have said the same thing if BJP would get 262 MPs.
Every Indian must be happy that we are now able to vote with clarity and let the politicians know that they are ‘Servants”true meaning of ministers’ and therefore must serve with selfless attitude. Some of the articles on web and in some News Papers stink when they write, ‘it is Gandhi-Nehru victory!’ Shame on such writers, they undermine Indians’ ability to vote with such remarks.
So, Congress get ready!! Lead nation into the most simple and concrete world-view that will bring change in the way of thinking of rich and poor of India. God Bless! Jai Ho!!
