A five week long marathon to elect the government of the world’s largest democracy has finally come to an end, with a verdict that showed unpredicted as ever. Despite several alliances that tried to influence the mind set of aam admi, the voters of India still preferred to be loyal to Congress. The fronts formed on no common ideological grounds certainly failed to mislead the democracy of the country into a hung. From the outcome of the polls it’s quite evident that the citizens of the nations are more concerned of a stable central government than having a handy number of petty fools gambling the national benefits in their own interest.
Left certainly carries the main blame in the whole game, trying to project America as a demon waiting to cripple the nation with pacts signed against national security. To an average Indian citizen US was certainly a land of dreams and the middle class of the country still sees it a pride having a NRI in family. The panic created by Left parties in lieu of the Indo US nuke deal backfired in the election.
The double standards of development followed by left in regard with development from West Bengal to rest of India has created an impression against Left in the mindsets of the intellectual society of the nation. Left had at been at its best in implementing the capitalist ways in Bengal, deviating from its basic ideology, on a contrary it hindered the basic development activities led by various state governments. Left was definitely with the UPA during all the price hikes, still tried to baffle people by the protests each time the prices went high. All these factors with the ideological non compliance of the so formed new fronts have proved negative impression in the mindset of middle class voters.
The third front on a whole was a set of opportunists trying to play a blackmail role in centre to fulfill their own needs with the numbers they gain in parliament. Not at least being able to project a leader to lead the nation ahead in 15th Loksabha, the newly formed fronts were bound to fail. The lack of a common manifesto, with no lack of highly opportunist politicians, it is no surprise in loosing election. The common man of the country was certainly aware of the communal politics played by a chief minster with the claim for the post of prime minister. And the anti English campaign led by the opposition leader of the same state paid then back with no favoring Congress in the highly decisive state of the country ruling out the chances of a Front lead.
The terror attacks seem to be less influential in the recent polls with recession creating more terror in the minds of middle class Indian citizens, the win of Manmohan a finance expert was obvious. Also the personal attack on a clean man of the current day’s politics created a wave of sympathy among the neutral voters turning the dice away from BJP.
The cheap ways employed by BJP to project the weak anti terror policies of existing government have shown a negative effect on minds of people.
Left and BJP deserved the defeat for their irresponsible behavior during the times of national crisis. Its time that they learn lessons from the experiences of this election and play a more constructive opposition in 15th Sabha.
