amitava::Elections are over and india has elected very decisively the upa for the next 5 years with dr.
Manmohan singh at its helm.
It was after a long time that indian people has given such a clear mandate.
This election had loads of surprise on offer.
And for me the greatest surprise had been the humiliating defeats faced by the left in kerala and west bengal and particularly west bengal.
Smells of change is in the air in west bengal after about 3 decades of the red rule.
Change is inevitable in all walks of life.
Big dynasties have fallen, great emperors have lost their power and so also the long democratic rule of the communist in west bengal may end.
I am prochange as change brings in growth and development.
It brings in competition.
It enables you to challenge yourself.
But what i am most worried about is that whether change is really for the better!
I am really concerned about the arrogance of power.
When people votes out someone they do it with a lot of hope.
We should not play with the aspirations of the people.
She has to take care of that along with her team and that will be a mammoth task.
Congress rule in west bengal earlier was also not a very good one and people know that.
So people will be apprehensive at the same time along with being optimistic.
Another thing i will expect from mamatadi is that when there is any failure on the part of her govt, she should not give an excuse by comparing it with what the predecessor or left govt has done previously.
This sort of attacks and counter attacks has not done any good for the country.
Now about the central mandate.
Well here also people have voted with a lot of hope.
Economy worldwide has created ripples.
People in india have tried to avoid further misery by bringing in an unstable govt.
They also bestowed great hope on the leadership of the upa especially dr.
But here also i am concerned about complacency, arrogance, abuse of power.
Such an overwhelming majority is something unseen in india in the recent past.
The new government should make best use of this mandate by pushing in reforms and development in a large way leading to growth, wellness and prosperity of nation and its masses.
There should be absolutely no dadagiri and corruption.
Safety of women and downtrodden should be a high priority.
When the fundamentals are strong, the improvements on it will be easy and will reach the masses more easily.
Public distribution system has to be strengthened and that is only possible by checking on mass corruption, otherwise nothing will reach the poor at the end of the day.
So i along with my fellow indians look to the next five years of rule as a transformational era in india history.
India has to be very powerful.
Our competition at this juncture is not with anybody else but with ourselves.
We have to win all these wars and that too decisively.
