Elections 2009

Well, the elections results are out. And the first thought is that the Indians voters need to be congratulated for voting with a combination of heart and head. India has shown that it wants stability. We want economic stability, we want growth, we want protection against all the factors that affect and ruin our day to day life. This is in effect all we want as simple citizens, not politics which threaten all this.

I think a strong message has been sent, the party that has been given the mandate should understand that it is not it's victory, but a vote, that India has had enough of personal political agendas. India is watching and judging. India has removed all the factors that could have hindered progress, now the onus is on the government. As the Tata Tea "Jago Re " ad says, you have applied for the job of running the country. We have given the appointment letter. Now perform.

A word for the Opposition. never mind the results. You have been entrusted with the onerous responsibility of ensuring that the Government keeps it's promises. Do not oppose for the sake of opposing. Oppose on matters of principle, oppose for the benefit of the common man. In matters that are beneficial to the common man, support. This, and only this will earn you goodwill.

Good governance, the rule of law, and the progress of the common man : that is all we ask. Is it too much to expect ?
