Friends,
So, what is the real situation?
1. It's only voters - who choose to 'come out' make any impact.
2. The elite and middle class have decided to reconcile to Fate!
3. In the absence of a strong and independent EC, criminals' entry, manipulations, counting 'more' than polled et al would continue.
4. "Cong is supposed to have thumping majority" - a joke! It only got the fruits of Left driving for 'the Am Admi' in CMP, BJP's failure to field some muslims, at least in UP and over optimism. Its arrogance would find new enthusiasm. I'm sure only dynasty would thrive and not youth. Youth MPs too would make quick money.
5. In TN corrupt practices of the very 'capable' DMK would continue!
6. Parties(!) like JD(S) and criminals could succeed with ease to reap adequate returns now 'from Cong'.
7. Muslim (not minority) appeasement would comfortably continue. And they continuously grow in strength.
8. Corruption would find safe environ.
9. No solution for any reforms affecting common man and the poor and national security.
10. Economic reforms might please India Inc!
And, what could have happened?
1. Cong could have accepted BJP's helping hand - openly or covetously.
Atalji was a helping hand PVN.
2. This would have paved the way for bipolar polity in long run.
3. And regional and marginal parties could have learnt a lesson.
4. Loksatta, at least could have got a few more seats and in Mumbai at least a few of its candidates along with PPI etc could have won.
All these could have happened if the efforts of NGOs succeeded in turning 'voters out'. Should we at all continue with our efforts?
In Sum, I've fears of positive results in impending State polls soon.
Regards

Dr. JP said that thousands of youth, middle class people, women and even the poor leading precarious livelihood had responded to the call for a second freedom struggle and laid a durable foundation for transformational politics.
