Verdict 2009

The elections held this year threw a huge pleasant surprise with the decisive victory given to the congress led UPA government. People expected the UPA to win or at least to be the biggest alliance but the margin of victory was expected to be narrow.The people of this great nation though had other things in their mind. They voted for a party which was seen to be fighting on the plank of development and inclusive governance which could fulfill the aspirations of one and all. It was the able troika of prime minister Manmohan singh who is considered to be a very decent and capable man, Sonia Gandhi who is seen as a powerful lady who is not hungry for power and Rahul Gandhi her son who is seen as a leader who promises a lot and can be seen as a person who can actualy feel the pulse of the youth. the opposition was unfortunately stuck with a negative campaign instead of campaigning on a positive plank. The results are there for everyone to see. Apart from the stupendous show in the centre another significant victory was that of the NDA in Bihar, a state which had seen development after years of neglect by Laloo. The people conveyed the message very clearly , perform or perish.
