The Indian voter has once again shown the door to the corrupt and the incompetent. From UP to Punjab to Goa, the Congress has been routed, the Rahul "magic" fizzling in the face of corruption and scams. Dynastic politics, with as many as 4 Alemaos contesting from Goa (all lost!) and 8-10 other family members getting tickets, has been firmly rejected with the BJP led by Parrikar storming to power. The young Akhilesh has proved to be the dark horse for the SP, leading them to a huge victory in UP, Mayavati's giant elephant statues having only served to alienate her from the very people who had reposed faith in her. Meanwhile, in Punjab the SAD-BJP combine has done the unthinkable, retaining power for the first time in 40+ years...
Interesting days ahead...
