With election results coming in ,its seems clearly UPA is back in power and we could hope to have a stable government for the next five years.One major factor for Congress's victory was they approached the elections in more confident manner. They didnt choose to ally with Laloo and Mulayam when they offered less number of seats in UP and Bihar but won considerable amount of seats contesting alone.Kerala and Westbengal they have shocked the left parties by sweeping most constituencies.AndhraPradesh too people have given the same verdict as in 2004. These are the key states which got the Congress back into power.
Coming to Tamilnadu DMK won all the major constituencies but Congress could not repeat the same performance as in 2004. VIP candidates like Mani Shankar Iyer ,EVKS Elangovan etc lost their their seats and some by a huge margin.It might the Srilankan issue which caused the downfall here.Since it turned down pleas from TamilNadu,its time people have responded back ,so the pro Eelam anger against the party was evident. Another notable thing PMK has lost all the seats which it has contested proving that changing parties every time wont help in the long run.
On personal front candidate I voted for lost the elections, better luck next time.Two blocks from my house,lives relatives of a candidate who was leading a major canbinet minister.There were lots a crackers blasted making the place noisy for more than half an hour,celebrations are continued till the results were announced where in which minister got back the lead and retained his seat.
All in all wonderful verdict given by people of India!!!
