Does anybody want to analyse the results of the elections in Assam, why AGP lost very badly and why Congress won, and what the results mean for Assam?

What should be discussed is WHAT NOW? How would anything be
different?
Everyone has been crying hoarse over how things are NOT
right.
But WHAT was wrong with the ship of state ? And how would this
newly elected team of sailors make it right? How will they be ANY
different? WHAT would be different?
And if those ( Assam's intelligentsia including Assam
Netters) who have been crying hoarse, cannot identify what was wrong,
is unable to set goals and measure performance against them ( like it
has always been in desi-demokrasy) HOW does it matter WHO got
elected?
I mean other than to go rah-rah, declaring to the world how it is
a 'democracy' and seeking western approval, in yet another futile and
hollow display of keeping up appearances but bereft of self-esteem and
self-respect?
