India's Election

Does voting back congress into power means they have done things right in their previous term?

[coolwrks]

It shows that people understood the need of a constant government without much interruption from the supporting parties and they thought congress is the better than others. The UPA has done many good things, but people still remind what the left parties did when India signed the nuclear deal with US and I hope they don't want the same situation to happen again.

It also means that they will be here for another 5 years now! Unless, something drastic happens.

There was a tide against the communal campaingning of BJP. This turned as votes for congress. Also people wanted a single party government and not a coalition government. Any way lets wish Manmohan Singh a good governing for next 5 years.

It will be easy for Dr. Manmohan Singh to have a good term because he don't have to listen to many coalition parties. Last time it was coalition government and the problem of coalition government was seen during the nuclear deal.

I've got no idea of how the Indian Politics work...
I visited some govenor though.. of congress I thought. Was during my two week trip to India. It was arranged by some old friend of ours who's from BJP, I think...

[addit420]

Seriously, if you ask me, India should give up any politician who is older than 65 years of age! 55 is the legal retirement age, politicians get 10 more.

[Miriamele]

That's great that they have a legal retirement age of 55 for most people. Over here (Canada) it's 65, but they just changed it so that nobody really has to retire if they don't want to. This royally sucks for all the younger generation who are trying to get jobs. In many companies, almost all the employees are old and grey. Sorry for the off topic.

[venu]

I agree with addit420.

There should be a retirement for the politician which will pave way for younger generation to take control
