Quest for directions - Indian Elections

While the world is still awe-struck at the denomination of digits crunched during the recent elections and the corporate media astonished at the results and wondering what went wrong while reading people's minds and thereby predicting a hung parliament and a lot of horse trading (now it is minimal though), I spent the whole night switching between the prominent news channels for their perspective on the results. They called up the political pundits, the leaders of various parties and the prominent news makers and asked about their views on the people's verdict. It was a day where both the speakers from the parties, both the winners and the losers, were on a high demand. A person from jubilant Congress party was seen at three different channels at the same day. But, I found much of the discussion was around the people rejecting both the right (BJP) and the left (Communists) and choosing the middle path (Congress Party), Rahul Gandhi's charisma and his youth brigade, Sonia Gandhi's handling of the party, Manmohan Singh's low-profile prime ministership, Advani's untrustworthiness for his Hindu agenda, Varun Gandhi's hate speeches etc etc., Much of the discussion, I found, non-sensical with no logic and truth behind it. It was funny though. The results of this election had even exceeded the calculations of the Congress party, which thought of seeking the support of the fourth front and third front to form government. The truth is people of India has become more and more unpredictable in their voting fashion. But, the predictable element is their quest for development with strong leadership, better education, infrastructure, social engineering and secularity and soverignity. Congress party was given the mandate, not because of its performance alone. I would say Congress is the better of the three evils. I am not considering the fourth front (which was a comedy show). For the past 50 years, Congress has done many mistakes which have no forgiveness in the hearts of the people. To name a few, Emergency, corruption, Kashmir issue etc., BJP, on the other hand, is still foolish in pushing their Hindu agenda (which will never work at any time)with about 20% of people is from various other religions. Communists, ruling in just 2 states, are far more worser than BJP with their dream of ruling India, which I believe will never happen. Regional parties are strictly regional with no sense of national ideology and strategy.
