The Indian Political Scene…Post Elections 2009.

The Indian Political scene, post general elections 2009, presents a vivid explanation of how the voter can turn around the issues and its proponent parties. The verdict as per many pollsters was bound to sink the Congress further. However, it went to the contrary giving comfortable place for the Congress to rule for five years uninterruptedly. This also put cheers on the Congress Party as the verdict has put in disarray its main opposition parties viz. the BJP, and Left parties.

The parties like the RJD and SP faced their worst. RJD party is nearly routed from Bihar and Lalu Prasad has faced worst humiliation of life. The situation is not very pleasant for the Samajwadi Party either. They would need to rework their strategies in the light of the results. Even the BJP and left Parties have done introspection of their defeat in the elections. However, none seems to be reading the real picture and is busy in holding meetings; apparently, nothing is coming out of these.

The BJP runs on the crutches of the RSS; it cannot deviate from the ideology knots of the RSS, which is hindutava. This is and has alienated the minorities from joining its ranks. Though Jaswant Singh and Yashwant Sinha took positions diametrically opposite to that of the leadership yet time alone would show their impact on policymaking.

The Left Parties stand wiped out in West Bengal, reducing its seat share in Parliament to its lowest ebb .However, introspection within the parties leave nothing to ground reality. The parties have failed to acknowledge their mistakes during the last year of the Parliament. The withdrawal of support to UPA Government by the Left Parties was seen in the perspective of its strength.
