Indian elections: Congress & Communists should apologize from people first



Congress & Communists
 should apologize from people first
The love affair of Nehrus & Gandhies is over in India. People are no more ready to listen to blessings of freedom and freedom fighters only. Current election results showed that there is no room for Indian communists in electoral politics too. Is it a new imperial conspiracy? May be like Asif Zardari , Rahul in coming weeks will reveal it.
Congress got only 44 seats out of 543 which is less than 10%. On the other hand Communists under CPI-M ruled West Bengal for 34 years yet Mamta Benerji out maneuvered them first in 2011 provincial elections than in local bodies and finally in current general elections. From 1980 CPI remained junior partner of CPI-M in successive governments and both major communist parties fought this election jointly yet they got only 11 seats this time out of 543. In current elections communists got only 2 seats out of West Bengal’s 42 seats. Regarding election 2014 results are trickier than the actual figures for Congress. Out of 44 winning seats Congress won 18 seats from far flung Karnataka & Kerala and rest of 26 seats from all 33 provinces.
In fact Indian democracy is a rule of 6 States (provinces) who have 291 seats of Lok Sabha i-e Andhra Pradesh 42, Maharashtra 48, Tamil Nadu 39, Utter Pradesh 80, Bihar 40 and West Bengal 42. In all 6 vital provinces Congress is either absence or have two or three seats.   

Victory of BJP is in fact a defeat of Congress and communists and it is high time to accept their faults publicly. It is easy to blame people, to raise slogans of rigging yet it is hard to accept their faults. Poverty is the basic reason which is a slap on Indian ruling classes and if poverty is there in Indian society in spite of Congress continuous rule than what people think about congress. Same happened in West Bengal where only hope was communists yet in 34 years rule, communists failed to deliver.  If getting power is the only consideration than why people differentiate between moody, Rahul, Mamta. Congress and communists lost their appeals not because of BJP or Mamta but due to their own power hungry politics. It is the first non-congress government with heavy mandate but if this government will depend on 30% middle class only than it will not repeat its performance in 2019.
