Lok Sabha Results-2009

I think, my optimism over the justification of Indian voter has once again failed or I may say that the majority of Indian voter who votes (The tragedy being that only 50% of the eligible voters poll their votes), has barred his thought process to only 3 things.1. His traditional voting pattern, 2. The fulfillment of his selfish motives and 3. The monetary benefits.
The Kandahar episode had opened the unfortunate facts about the mentality of the people in general who did not press the day's government not to succumb to the hijackers demands, Instead they forced the Government to take that Unfortunate decision of release of the dreaded terrorists.
The media which waged an unnecessary war against Pakistan after Mumbai (26-11) terrorist attacks, made an anti national contribution by forcing the NDA Government take the most unfortunate decision of the release of terrorists.
It seems, the congress with all its anti national and anti hindu mind understands the mind of the voter better than anyone else. Their strategy being- Loot, Divide the general voter and create confusion. Pour money wherever en-masse votes are expected. Keep the blind flock solidly behind congress reminding the contribution of the congress in the Independence struggle. Strengthen vote banks by raising the reservations to more flocks, Keep the issue of communalism- Secularism alive without explaining the real meaning of these words. Strengthen the Non Hindu religious groups by showing them the fear of Hindus even at the cost of national security. The results of the elections are a clear indication that the voters are not concerned with the Sustained Price rise of essential commodities, spread of the terror networks throughout the length and breadth of the country, scarcity of essential commodities, deteriorating security concerns in the neighboring countries, failing economy, exports, manufacturing sector, agricultural production. The voter also seems to be unconcerned about the insult of the Institutions, autocratic use of the premier institutions.
Considering the tally that has given the congress a comfortable boost means that the voter voted for either the raised pay packet, that may be understood. But what about others?
The people of this country should not blame the politicians or the Government for Terrorism- Inflation- corruption etc., etc. They are themselves to be blamed for this. They have chosen these virtues.
I was elated over the people's contribution on national issues on the internet. The contributors on blogs, communities, social networking sites were decisively campaigning nationalism in a big way. Yet, probably we could not end up with the votes. May be, many on the internet did not cast their own votes!
I am not only worried that BJP has lost or we could not have Shri Lal Krishna Advani ji as the Prime Minister, I am depressed because the nation has lost an opportunity to have a brilliant Prime Minister and a nationalist government.
Moreover, the seats that the congress is getting make me worried about the future trend of their divisive politics that could disintegrate this society further.
Is there any remedy in sight?
Yes1 there may be, but we shall have to work very hard. Let's resolve to work very hard these next 5 years to go to the people and convince them of the realities. Let's go to the colleges, universities and chat with the students. Let "Secularism" be the issue of debate throughout the country. Let's leace the freebies to the politicians and spread the nationalist thought throughout the length and breadth of the country.
BJP shall have to make groups of individuals for this daunting task, without which the nation is bound to suffer at the merciless hands of the secularists.
