UPA rocks

Hay guys...
Saturday, 16th May will always be remembered as d landmark day for Indian democracy & for India as a nation. People of India have decisevely voted for progressive forces. The signal is loud & clear... we are just not interested in caste & religon based politics. Mandir nahi ration chahiye. majhab nahi shanti chahiye. The party which talks of development & economy will be our choice. And Indian people have made their choice. It's congress all d way.

Some of my friends are not happy with these results. According to them, India should get rid of congress as early as possible. BJP, with its Hindutva idealogy is going to solve their problems. Ram Mandir is going to give them their daily bread & butter and state sponsored riots are going to help them earn their salaries in dollers. Indian Middleclass (upper, affluent class & not d lower middleclass) always has this infatuation abt BJP. This is especially surprising for d fact that BJP have never fulfilled any of middleclass' dreams. Indian economy is booming because of congress. India has made giant strides in science is because of congress, middle class flourishing is because of congress policies & d same middle class holding congress responsible for all the ills of indian society is the height of hyppocracy.

It's really hyppocratic on part of Indian middleclass to hold congress responsible for each & every problem this country is facing. And I feel very sad when educated urban youth speaks d same language... well some of them. They conveniently forget that whatever fruits they are enjoying today of economic liberalisation is because of congress. Be it setting up institutes like IIT, IIM, & IIS (or even no. of other colleges across nation), be it telecom & I-T revolution, be it opening up of market or be it maintaing the social fabric, it is congress which always took a solid (& progressive) position.

It will be foolish to say that there is no corruption or no drawback in congress raj. But then no party is clean. At the same time one should also look at d policies different parties wish to pursue or what there stated stand is on various issues facing our nation. And on this major count, congress lends confidence. We must thank god that it was congress that was in power at d time of monetary crisis & not BJP which don't have a specific economic policy. It was because of congress & Manmohan Singh that Indians are the least affected lot in d world in current crisis and yet Indian middle class do not want to acknowladge that.
Let them not. But Indian voters by & large have acknowladged this & gave their verdict. That is what matters! UPA rocks, Manmohan rocks, India rocks!!
Jai ho!!!!
