Happy to see congress voted to power in India

Indian elections results are out and Election 2009 was an unqualified victory for the Congress. Results prove that for the People of India nation comes first rather than the religion which other leaders were trying to play on.

I am happy with result because the election has led to a stable government that will not have to succumb endlessly to the irritations of coalition politics and the threat of a midterm breakdown.

From my little following I can say Congress played it simple strategy wise ( speaking MBA terms now !!)

> It chose a single leader for PM right from the outset. Manmohan singh able, wise and regarded as a thinking man who could lead India out of the economic turmoil. Contrastingly BJP shot its foot by raising debate of national leader as Modi mid way through elections this confused the voters.

> Focus on youth: India has one of largest youth population in the world. By playing cards on this front gave congress a big boost. In the 1990s, the BJP was the natural party of the youth; today, the Congress is the beneficiary of India’s demographic transformation. The party must ask why the children of BJP voters aren’t comfortable voting for the BJP.

In short people voted for rice dhal rather than a kichdi of BJP or third front!!

In terms of delivering value congress now has less barriers in terms of implementing policies which it faced last time. So road is set for economic development of India lets hope people get benefited by riding once the road is laid !
