A day with the election results.

Had got up at our usual time, went through our chores and were ready at our usual time. Lekha had decided to go to the Mammiyoor temple today as Raji Yedukumar was gonna be here tomorrow.

So, along with the maid, she'd left soon after 10. Meanwhile, I'd finished my work on the laptop and had positioned myself in front of the television set to listen to the election results. Chathisharh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have gone to the Congress, Mizoram to the MNF and Telangana to the TRS.

The following aspects clearly stood out:-

    (a) The massive alliances notwithstanding, the Congress has not been able to show a real
         comeback
    (b) The local Congress leadership played a big role in consolidating the victories.
    (c) Had the PM spent more time in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the BJP could have
         comfortably romped home to victories in the states.
    (d) The TDP and other parties must have realised that by aligning with the Congress, the latter
         won seats at their expense making them wonder as to whether their being anti-BJP attitude
         was hurting them.
    (e) The BJP had better realise that by renaming cities, it's not endearing itself to the people.
    (f) The BSP had done a wise thing by staying away from the alliance.
    (g)What advantage did the BJP get by having Yogi Adityanath canvas for its candidates?

In the run up to the General Elections, there's gonna be a change in alliances and it should be interesting to watch as to which party gravitates to which side in assurance of a victory.
