Election 2009

Parliament Elections are over and Congress led UPA came to the power with almost free hand.. From my point of view, Its slightly perturbing that Congress won so easily as they had nothing special to show in their last term report card. Its surprising that  terror strikes, inflation and recession did not go against them. But it is better in a way because they are at least not dependant on small selfish regional parties  There are many facets of the outcome. Congress Says it supported youths and so youths supported it . But actually by youth do they simply mean Rahul Gandhi and i believe he is not being supported for being youth but for being "Gandhi". In their youth category Rahul Gandhi, Jiten Prasad, Schindhia, Sachin Pilot , Sandeep Dixit, Milind Deora,  most of them are there because of their legacy and not because the party policies. 

Personally i feelthat  Rahul Gandhi is better than other politicians because he does not seem to be shrewed and corrupt. But if we consider does he have any qualification for being prime minister, or we are simply promoting dynasty in the name of democracy. I was listening Vinod Dua and found his comment quite appropriate that Why Rahul in politics is directly for PM post , can anybody else get it so easily ?

Now it also remains to be seen that How long the Congress will keep the petrol prices at the same rate. Will Manmohan Singh be able to revive the economy in three months ?I believe still quite a lot is left undone. As no party still considers to make corruption its primary agenda and take steps against it. Still to get a job done from govt. office is painfully difficult. The basic three requirements from govt. :- Electricity , Water ,  Roads are still as poor as they were . Lets hope things will change ...
