Yes the results are stunning. Anti-Incumbency is so consistent and regular in Indian polity, that even the most optimistic political analyst would not have predicted this result. Anyways, Its clear the mandate is for a stable government. Now whether its for a secular govt or not, the point is highly debatable.
From a development perspective, the team Dr. Manmohan Singh heads is highly credible. In their previous tenure for more than half their run, the Left's anti-development policies, kept them from going ahead and presenting many bills. This again brings joy to me, knowing they are far from poking their nose in the present govt.
Before the elections, I had the following predictions/expectations.
1. Left had to be taught a lesson
2. BJP, realising Karnataka is no Gujarat.
3. NDA forming a fringe alliance govt, with Advani a PM atlast!!
Was glad to see the way my predictions number 1 and 3 went, but the way urban Bangalore chose to ignore the misdoings the present govt were doing since they were in power, disheartened me a bit. But anyways hoping the 3 MPs do good justice to city that sent them to the parliament.
Congress is infamous for the license and babu raj they brought to the bureaucracy system. Now since they have been voted back to power, they have a huge responsibility in serving the nation better. Quite few assembly election dates are nearing in the coming years . Only if Rahul Gandhi delivers on his words, will the electorate feel that they made the right choice.
I would definitely like to see the young brigade of Scindiya Sachin Pilot and Milind Deora and ofcourse Rahul Gandhi to enter into governance too. Rahul has proved his grassroot strength by shifting the tide in congress's favour in UP. By entering the system, he can sure bring in about some reforms as well.
