India Decides – And the winner is...


Rahul Gandhi!!! Yes, yes, it might be surprising for you to see me naming him the winner, when it was clearly Dr. Man Mohan Singh who was the one who emerged victorious in winning back the crown as the Prime Minister for the second consecutive time which only happened some decades ago when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was repeatedly named Prime Minister for two terms consecutively. Most of the credit for UPA’s (United Progressive Alliance) win, in my opinion must be bestowed to Mr. Rahul Gandhi simply because of his excellent promotional campaigns that he so ardently conducted with utmost enthusiasm which any young voter would be impressed by and this is the same reason why I have named him this year’s true winner of the general elections.

In his campaign his statement to his younger admirers was – `There is a work that my father had started, a dream he had dreamt. I come to you today saying... allow me to turn that dream into reality’. This itself had the adrenaline of the youth rushing towards incorporating the same and spreading the message which eventually resulted in the Congress sweeping the seats of the state of Uttar Pradesh. This immaculate politician needs to be present in the cabinet of ministers thereby leading our nation to prosperity, much in vain of Mr. Singh’s efforts to persuade Rahul to join in.

It is quite a disheartening end to the elections for the BJP with Mr. L.K Advani’s efforts drained and his long awaited dream of leading India is given a full stop. With Advani’s resignation on the horizon, the party must recoup and counterfeit a strategy adopted by the UPA which is to inculcate in their party a young promoter like Rahul. Agreed, Varun has won with 192,000 votes but the party’s promotional campaigns have been hurt with a minor part of the Muslim voters casting their vote for BJP.
