Does the youth of India even care who runs this country?
That is the question everyone has asked over the last 2 months of election frenzy.
I just know that I DO.
UPA has got an undisputed mandate, and the NDA has been ordered by the electorate to have a relook at their organisation and leaders. That is the truth.
But would this mandate have been possible without Manmohan Singh, i have my doubts. Rahul 'Greenhorn' Gandhi has done well in UP and after years Congress has resurfaced in UP. But this is in noway his victory. He is an elite prince who aint fully aware of what India is. Young leaders like Jyotiraditya Scindia and Sachin Pilot have far more credentials than RG. Sachin Pilot won from Ajmer this time which has been a BJP bastion for years unending. Then why aint they being projected as the future leaders, why only RG. Only the Gandhi name does the trick. I believe 1 billion should not be lead by 1 family. I dont know how they do it, but they work their magic on the Indian electorate. We the youth havent faced and dont even remember the attrocities of the emergency that the same family committed, and I dont know why no one holds it against them anymore.
As far as BJP goes, it has committed blunders in the past. Post-Godhra, Kandhamal, Varun Gandhi. But I can name a longer list for the blunders Congress has committed. That apart I had hoped for BJP to come back to power, the strength and decisisiveness of BJP cannot be matched by Congress. I prefer a government which made the telecom revolution possible, a state govt that gets approval for a project as big as Nano in a matter of days compared to a government that has to ally with person who drove Nano out of WB to start with (ready Mamta Banerjee).
But I gotto wait another 5 years I guess.
