May 16th - D Day -


Yesterday I was completely glued to my desktop watching TV9 (Yes, I am still in Melbourne) .......

The increase in percentage of voting, entry of Chiru into politics were the reasons for the curiousity ......

But contrary to what many predicitied, entry of Chiru has not affected Congress, if not benefitted them ....... One thing that was surprising in this elections was that movie glamour did not work at all ...... Neither for TDP nor PRP ...... Mahakootami was considered as a strength in elections, but turned otherwise for both TDP and TRS ....

On a national level, Singh is King again squashing lot of issues BJP thought would favour them like securiy issues post 26/11 ....... The reason I think is because Indian voter has matured ....... Also reason could be that major vote bank is between age group 18 - 35 .......

Happy that Dr. Manmohan Singh is PM for next 5 years and welcome to Rahul Gandhi ...... Hope PM would cleanse his cabinet this time ...... His economic policies, I hope, would definitely help India in these tough economic period ....

On state level, its a mixed feeling as to what the next 5 years holds for us ...... May be not that much for NRI's like me, but whats in for state ... Definitely happy about results in Telangana .... Everyone who supports Samaikyandhra would be elated by this results .....


Hopefully this term would be good compared to last time on both state and national levels .....

Yep ..one of the most unpredictable elections india has ever seen ..Its not like people has handed the power to Congress(many state ministers have lost)..who ever has developed , even bringing grant for a single road in his constituency has won
Loksatta brought a drastic change in peoples attitude, cheers to JP
At centre people has unanimoulsy elected Dr.Singh , one of the greatest economic reformist india has ever seen (from the time of Late PV Narsimha Rao)
The winner is Janta
