The assembly poll results...

The results of the recent polls held in five states have been on the expected lines, save the Shiela magic in Delhi. It is heartening to see that in Delhi, Chattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh people have acknowledged good governance. In Rajasthan, the infighting cost the BJP dearly, in spite of the reasonably good job done by Vasundhra Raje.

 I hope that people will utilise the power of ballots wisely and decisively in the general elections coming up in the next few months. One can only hope that there will not be a hung parliament which will give rise to all sorts of post-poll alliances, horse trading and corruption. At this crucial juncture, that would be a disaster for the nation.
