The power of ONE...

Another set of elections over.... This time around, it is a clear advantage for the BJP led NDA. The party has stormed to power in Assam and improved its position in West Bengal. However, the single seat that it won in Kerala is the icing on the cake.

Veteran leader O. Rajagopal has won from Nemom assembly constituency in Thiruvananthapuram. This victory is so much more sweeter, considering the fact that both the UDF and LDF had openly declared their commitment to keep BJP away from the Kerala assembly. I am sure Rajetttan's presence in the assembly will strengthen the state in more ways than one.

The NDA has increased its vote share considerably in God's own country. Predictably, the LDF which has returned to power (no surprises) is upset. I am afraid the state is in for really testing times. Especially, when the bugle is sounded for the Lok Sabha elections 2019, the violence will we widespread.

Still, it is really heartening to see Lotus blooming in this part of the country. It took a long time coming. But as is the norm, once it starts blooming, it will spread in no time....
