No Photo finish in Elections

I am dejected with the loss of BJP and NDA but still I am happy to see the people like Mayawati and Left being marginalized. Even SP and RJD have been reduced to an extant that they can not negotiate for their terms, and most probably will dance on Sonia's tunes, as they will be desperate to be part of central government. Simply because they can not afford to be out of power at both center and state simultaneously, such a thing will create too much of negative impact on their cader.

Mulayam's SP is already under immense pressure in UP because of the Mayawati's constant vigil on Gunda elements of SP (may be 80-100% of total SP cader). However now mulayam can not dictate the terms, like using 356 against UP Government. But still UPA falling short by 10-14 will enable SP to talk for some ministerial berths, however I am not sure if congress people will really like that idea.

If it was only for the corruption, it would have still been fine to give them some ATM ministries (unfortunate but truth, corruption is part and parcel of our lives), but the most unfortunate part is their interference with foreign policies of central government. DMK is already troubling central government to save LTTE, which was responsible for killing of Rajiv Gandhi, but politics has its own compulsions. India has already messed it up Nepal under pressure from the left block, and we have already seen some consequences of that.

Whatever it may be, India still remains a predominantly Hindu nation and having that Hindu link with Nepal was always in favor of India, as at least they had one good neighbor (except Bhutan). Indian policy towards china was again compromised because of Communists, and now if people like mulayam have a say in central government I fear the worst on India's western borders. During the times of trouble in Pakistan, India needs to deal with it with strong hands, and any compromise on that, just because they are all Muslims out there will seriously damage Internal Security as you never know when India develops it own cader of Taliban.

I am still not able to understand the happiness of Indian Voters with UPA, I know they dont bother about economics, infrastructure and corruption but st least they should have seen the price rise and governments attitude towards terrorists. May be Afzal Guru Will have to wait for another 5 years (at least) for his punishment or people like Kasab will keep their smile on, while government will put all its efforts behind friends of Pragya and Purohit.
