Congratulations to BJP not only for winning the election but
winning it more handsomely with clear majority and thereby lending a strong credibility
to the prediction made by the Exit Polls. Congress Party in its defeat was
decimated not only from the Parliament but also from the Indian political
scene. Only Indira Gandhi must come out from the dead to revive it. Otherwise it
looks R.I.P. Congress Party at the Centre.
Unless Congress Party is liquidated completely from the Indian political
scene there will never be cleanliness in Indian politics. This time people’s
mandate in favour of BJP was not for the love of BJP but more for the hatred
for Congress because Congress Party government was filled with scams and
corruptions at all levels during the last one full decade.
Since independence Congress Party ruled India almost for 5
decades of which 3 decades uninterrupted and during this long period Congress
could have done wonders for India and Indians but instead Congress promoted
corruption, scams and bad governance with the help of corrupt Congressmen. Congress Party converted Congressmen into
Maharajas and Monarchs who led the life of feudal lords resulting in the revolt
by the voters as witnessed in this election. Even minorities who were afraid of
BJP voted against Congress. So much is the anger of the voters against Congress
Party and of course deservingly.
No doubt I accept the verdict in favour of BJP yet I am more
afraid of Modi now because in this victory he came out more powerful and with
the help of this power he may turn into a monster with his RSS linkage and
supported by RSS elements in BJP. I only
hope he maintains his balance well as per his victory speech. More than
development in India we need life security for the minorities and Modi should
give this life security to all the minorities.
He should follow the example of Morarjee Desai as premier and stop being
revengeful against those whom he thinks his opponents. He should give a feeling
that all Indians whether from the minorities or majority communities are equal.
He must accept the fact that India belongs not only to the majority community only
but also to the minorities.
In the defeat of both the Congress candidates in Goa, once
again Goan voters indicated their hatred for the mismanaged Congress Party in
Goa. The gain of BJP in the South Goa was the result of the big mistake of Congress
Party of refusing the party ticket to the MP Sardinha. Congress High Command in
Delhi must accept the blame for this goof. John Fernandes has to do a lot to revamp the
party in Goa by eliminating all the party rebels and corrupt. The loss of
Congress in the North though expected was due to the very bad image of Ravi
Naik associated with some corrupt elements accompanying in his campaign.
Finally, let us all pray to God to give wisdom to the BJP
leadership to govern the country well to the satisfaction of all especially of
the minorities.
