Well i feel congress is a party which has integral views......it is not communist or biased to any particular religion.......BJP was always for its Hindutva views......but forgot that there is a major share of Muslims, Christians, Sikh, Parsis,etc across India......i really like congress......well the only problem people are complaining is about price hikes, job losses etc.......but i feel that is all over the world and has very little control over the government.......it has won with such a majority, it in itself shows that India really wanted them back........I am sure congress will do something for the nation........

Well we need to wait and watch as to what congress can do. But let me say this in their previous 50+ years of rule i don think Congress did anything great and about the BJP. Congress is not much different if BJP is pro hindus. Congress plays the card of minority appeasement so i don see much of a difference there

The general public is aware of the threats of a hang parliament which will pull back the nations march.So,it has decided to ignore third fronts.About BJP,it has to change its attitude towards being a religious one.They have not acted vigorously as an opponent party.And the congress government has no serious complaints except price hikes which are lessened for the time being.Now,having congress achieved greater confidence,it should act well and should lead India to great heights.Cheers!

Well the major point to see is that the BJP didn press on the developmental front. But the only good thing is this is not a fragmented vote as expected. Lets see wht the congress can do with this kind of a clear cut mandate. But one more thing i have to add is I am happy that the left does not have any say in the government! THanks god for tht!

Yes!Congress should now fulfill the expectations from the people.They have been elected with majority and need not fear of the aligned parties as in the past.It is time to take quick and bold decisions and make the nation march with pride in the world.Cheers!

Well, UPA surprised not only its rivals ;but itself also by its good performance . Hopefully;they also perform well by providing good governance at the centre and taking the country forward .

Definitely UPA was not expecting this kind of verdict, else why would they woo the likes of Mualayam, JJ and Nitish if they had already known they would get absolute majority. Anyways regarding governance too, they need to surprise themselves to give good governance!
