Writing this blog is more out of satisfaction then compulsion. India decided on a stable government giving UPA the onus to rule this country. This happened despite all the exit polls suggesting the opposite, the heat wave being treated as the major factor, anti-incumbency a sure shot cause and low voting as the deciding factor.
For BJP and Mr Advani “the theme for the dream” i.e Prime Minister post stays a dream unfulfilled. The party performed much below average and the most alarming factor was the failure of Mr Narendra Modi. The bubble of Mr Modi has burst pre-maturely where his influence could not get clear verdict even in Gujarat. And this was the leader who is supposed to take over from Mr Advani. Over exposing Mr Modi, no clear agenda or very old and weak leaders are various reasons for the debacle.
The so-called Third front was already planning a role of spoil sport till yesterday with their parties ready to spend the funds they would have got from horse trading. May be they are now cancelling their orders. The Mayawatis, the Mulayams, the Jayalalithas and Lallus are now totally denied the role of King makers and are confined to introspect their own defeats. So is the case of CPI (M), the party that has put the word blackmailing to shame in this last government’s rule. If we have friends like these who needs an enemy. Look what happened to them. They were swept away in their own backyard.
To me the most important factor was Rahul Gandhi and his circle of people. Sachin Pilot, Milind Deora, Jyotiraditya Scindia etc were the young bloods given tremendous responsibility in these elections. This generation is a well-educated one who is confident enough to do things their way. And they delivered success when it mattered most. Bringing old people to power with their conservative approach would have been a scenario this country could well afford to avoid .
Rahul Gandhi’s approach at UP where he worked at the grass root level, was convinced to fight it all alone and was humble enough to understand the ground realities is a move which played rich dividend. His interview after his party’s victory would have gained him more friends from the opposite party. Just feels that the future of this country is in safe hands.
At lasts a word of appreciation for our own CM Mr Ashok Gehlot. He traveled from pillar to post trying to achieve some thing impossible. His conviction in implementing policies for common man paid rich dividends. He may not be as flamboyant as Mr Modi but he did manage to give that knock out punch when it mattered the most.
A proud day for the country India where the faith in democracy is restored once again.
