Definitely, UPA is back, NDA is out. Now I am no political Pundit/analyst. But I want to make a few comments:
1. A clear mandate was the LAST thing anyone expected in thes elections. And bhaartiya janta stumped everyone. Yippie !!!
2. This Election was not only engaging, but so much fun !!! Our Electronic media has quite come of age, and they made it a spectacular event, from campaign tracking to post-poll analysis ... Kudos to them.
3. The LEFT Parties got their ass kicked and I loved it. But not really sure if TMC would be any better.
4. Farewell Mr. Advani. I heard people say on Media that you will be remembered for demolishing Babri masjid. But I will remember you for something else; your Rath Yatra created the only viable non-Congress option in India. There was none before that. The regional parties were either the offshoots of Congress itself or a product of the Jay Prakash movement. Not commenting on what the BJP is today, it will most likely remain that thorn which will keep a check on Congress. Thanks to you, the Indian democracy stopped being a Congress Monopoly.
5. Glad that Mayawati, Mulayam, Lalu, Paswan got thrashed. They represent regressive caste politics and backward politics (SP manifesto proposed banning english and computers).
6. We will again have a Prime Minister which Indians feel proud of having. I remember when I watched the joint press conference of Dr. Singh and President Obama at theG-20 summit, I felt in my heart 'Damn, it feels good'. He is decent, clean, educated man. Dr Manmohan Singh, your political legacy as of now can be summarized in two things: Opening up Indian economy in 1991 and the Indo-US Nuke deal in 2008. I sincerely hope that you top these in this term; especially when the people of India have given a mandate which ensures you won't be hamstringed by allies again.
7. I felt the market would jump 700 - 800 points. It broke the upper circuit twice !!! More than 2000 points gained today.

The only problem i have with congress is the gandhi family. why the hell rahul should get all the attention, given that all he has done is to be born as a son to sonia gandhi! When people say that some day, he will be the PM, thats real crap from the ass-lickers.
otherwise i am happy that economy will continue to lift itself up, with the continued and unobstructed policies of the government
Man same was said for Rajiv Gandhi......he never wanted to be the prime minister or politics.....it was thrown over his shoulders.....and I dont know know if same is true for Rahul..but guy is living upto the job..he is making all the right moves....low profile....doing work at root level...he will make PM one day..thats for sure...
