I thought we should also thank people of India for religiously keeping the communual away!!! Not that the secular does everything right...but some peace atleast........for the moment.. CAN CONGRESS DELIVER? Wed May 20 19:45:50 PDT 2009
714 million voters of the world’s largest democracy have elected 543representatives to the 15th Lok Sabha in a mammoth election which isestimated to have cost a staggering Rs10, 000 crore plus. In a democracy thevoice of the people is supreme and the mandate has to be respected. The political rut and chaos in our country can be rooted out by having a twoor three party system. The people of India may have not voted for the muchrequired change but it is however good that the people of India have given aclear mandate to one party which is very important for our nation’sstability and all round development. Laloo and Paswan amongst some other political opportunists have been rightlyderailed. It would have been good to see Mulayam and Mayawati also shelvedaway. Parties deeply rooted in the criminalization of politics should begiven no space to manoeuvre. The Left parties have also been rightly shownthe door. The negative aspect of the election results is the impetus givento dynastic rule which along with political sycophancy should never findplace in any democracy. Last time the Congress led UPA claimed that the fractured mandate preventedthem from making India shine. This time around they have the numbersrequired to push the necessary reforms. The much needed electoral reformsshould be one of Dr. Manmohan Singh’s priorities.Aires RodriguesRibandar _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.
