I Feel vindicated-I might not (or how I liked the UPA win)

I will not tell why I want what I want. This will only be a listing on my expectations and the results. You could read this in any of the news reports as well.


What I wanted the election results to sire

1. A stable government
2. National parties (any and both of them) emerging stronger
3. RJD/JD-S/Varun/Karat/Maya getting humbled
4. Allaying the conversion of the paranoia of RSS and chums into action (means again no Varun types in lead). Ok, let me say it once. Varun might not be the face of BJP, but people like him are its heart. Whatever they say, when they say that every Indian should be Hindu, they mean Hindu-the-religion and not Hindu-the-culture.

What I got

There are umpteen combination for Man/Rahul to get to 272. So, SP going out means someone else coming in, RJD out means JD-U in.. Independents are always there. BSP might feel like it anytime. And unlike nth fronts, ambitious Congress guy knows that, for Rahul's life-span, their acme is at some cabinet portfolio. So no revolts within party. We are happy for five years.

Congress getting stronger means we do not have to deal with likes of Gowda/Amar Singh/Pawar... and Lalu silently works for 'Sangathan'.

RJD gets 4; JD-S might be there, but Gowda will not stall NICE; Varun with a 2L win scares me; Karat/Maya's needed some humiliation.

So, BJP is out, I am happy.

Let us see how I feel about this state of mind of mine of today of matters-that-relate-to-our-country (duh, I love my word-plays) on 17-5-14. I hope I set a calendar alert for that day.
