the results aren't out, but the ruling UPA and friends have
comfortably romped home, in India's first past the post electoral
system.
Result is not a surprise since exit polls predicted this. But I
thought, since there was no wave in favour of any group, NDA, headed
by BJP may just inch ahead. But that was not to be.
Advani's hopes of being a PM have also crashed. He would have been
better than Singh. BJP has a number of bright leaders. UPA has got the
benefit of doubt. NDA's campaign also wasn't effective enough to
counter the Sonia-Priyanka-Rahul onslaught.
Anyway, I am happy that there will be a stable govt. The results have
left no room for wheeling and dealing. Now let's hope, Congress will
infuse fresh blood and govern India efficiently.
