16th
May was indeed a historic day for the Indian democracy, a tad more historic
than the day when Mr Kejriwal stunned one and all by his unbelievable feat in
Delhi polls. But let us hope that Mr Modi doesn’t become history as the former
has become due to his melodramatic and outrageous ways. These elections were
the biggest and probably the course defining one for the Indian politics and
hence any other result in terms of a fractured mandate would have only dented
our nations hope for progress immensely. So more than the elected members of
parliament our countrymen deserve a big pat on the back for this decisive
mandate. The writing was pretty much clear on the wall but not many could
perhaps read it, in fact the UPA cadre and other non-NDA groups made a mockery
of themselves in the run-up to the elections through their rather over the top
campaign. Here is a comical snapshot of the same –
Mr Nitish SECULAR
Kumar supposedly
made a tactical move by breaking away from NDA well in advance, as he had a
strong view that projecting Modi as a PM will not only impact the secular credentials
of our country but will reduce BJP as well in tatters. He even blushed on the occasions
when he was asked about leading the third front and being the next PM. Now with
just 2 seats to show up against his name, I believe Mr Kumar will have to wait
for his dream of being the PM of a secular India. In fact his immediate target
will be to avoid his party’s extinction from his home state and taking RJD’s
support for the same will not to do any good to his long term political
ambitions.
Mr Rahul EMPOWERED
Gandhi & Co. have been pressing upon Mr Modi’s dictatorial
ways and mocking BJPs infighting for long but a rather shameful all-time low of
just 44 seats clearly reflects on how
Congress/UPA have misused the mandate given to them by this nation. As a matter
of fact if the former government would have been just half as dictatorial as
they have been projecting Mr Modi to be, our nation would have been in a much
better state today. And if only they could EMPOWER their party men to think beyond
the Gandhi clan it will do wonders to the fast plummeting fortunes of the
oldest and most respected party of modern day India.
Mr Arvind HYSTERICAL
Kejriwal who
has successfully hogged more limelight than even the Modis and Gandhis of the
world for all his over the top theatrical acts, also have been very vocal about
how detrimental BJP would be for our nation, if elected to power. He even went
on to publically boast of a minimum tally of 100 seats for his party, forget
this ambitious tally, he could only manage a meagre 4 seats with a complete
wipe out in Delhi, clearly reflecting people’s angst against his cheap histrionics.
Now if he can sombre down and concentrate more on anything and everything other
than being in the headlines and pulling down other political leaders, it will
contribute well towards his high political ambitions.
Ms PM to be Mayawati who was pretty sure and determined
that BJP and certain Mr Modi can never be the PM of this country and she will throw
her weight to any extent to not let that happen was also left in shambles after
the results. Leave apart her long withstanding PM ambitions, she can’t even
imagine to throw any weight with her tally of ‘0’ seats. She has been
absolutely decimated not only across India but even in her own bastion. She
certainly has a mammoth task in her hands in not just reviving her own image
but also her party’s fortunes too for the next assembly polls in UP.
Ms Mamta Mercurial
Banerjee, despite
a good performance in the general elections couldn’t become a king maker and a
party spoiler for BJP and NaMo as she has been aggressively aiming at, in the
run up to the general elections. The overall national results have not only
stumped her and caught her off guard but have also dented her long term national
ambitions. Only if she could have channelized her wrath in the right direction
it would have done her a lot of good but she is still better than most of the
other political bigwigs who have faced a bitter embarrassment with the May 16th
verdict.
And the
list of these big-mouthed ministers can go on and so can their notorious claims
but smart have been those who have allied with the BJP and joined NDA well in
time. People like Paswan, Naidu and Thackerys have been smart to have gauged
the tide and rightly sailed through it. Although, such frivolous commentating and
rather hilarious mud-slinging does happen every election season but the kind of
mandate that the people of this country have given, makes it look all the more funny.
But as much as this clear mandate has stumped the losers so has it stumped the
BJP too, now Mr Modi and his team have no other option but to translate this
clear mandate in building a strong, inclusive and developed India that engages
effectively with the global community, otherwise there won’t be much of a
difference between them and the people on the other side of the fence.

kin…
Modi and his team certainly don’t have any
excuse to fall back upon, they will have to deliver to repay for this strong
mandate!
