The results of the general elections are out today, and I am happy that the people of India have been decisive in their mandate this time.
The people of this country have given the present government much more power this time to govern. I hope the allies of the main political party, do not start to act in a self-centered childish manner as they are known to do, say an year from now. These regional parties must rise above their regional level of politics to play a more sensible and matured role at the national level.
It was nice to see the leader of the main opposition, accept the defeat humbly and congratulate his adversary. We have once again proved, the power of our democracy, amid the "crumbling democracies" around us.
The verdict is loud and clear: "We have given you a clear mandate, please please please give us a clean and decisive governance" -- people of India, General Elections 2009.
yes, amen to that!
