A clear mandate stumps one and all!

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.

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!
