Elections 2009 - I root for Congress

There have been many days when we sit and ponder why India is still a developing country, why can't India transform into a power to reckon with instead of being a country with potential. Any average Indian would point the fingers to the government and say - it is corrupted, politicians are the villains who take the country back ten steps once we make 2 steps forward and i Disagree.

In my personal opinion, Politics in India is in a state which was/is/will be dictated by the people of the nation. In almost every way, India is what every Indian is - one cannot blame the government which is existing in the first place because of "US" - the very own muted citizens of the country. Coming to the prospects of the political parties that i consider fit to rule the nation, i don't really see any other party apart from the Congress alliance forming the government - i hope not to be proved wrong in the coming days.

Whom do i want to run the nation?
This question has only one answer at this point of time and i actually prefer a Non-Coalition government ruling the nation which of course seems highly unlikely. Now that i prefer a single party to rule the country, who should it be and yet again its a clear answer which spells Congress. The reasons are manifold and the primary being:
Congress is the only national party which has the capacity to run a government for the full term which it dervies mainly from the leaders they have in their ranks and that means stability to me. Congress is the party with some outstandingly promising young stars in their ranks - just to name a few:
Sachin Pilot
Jyotiraditya Madhavrao Scindia
Rahul Gandhi
Dr G Vivekananda
Ajay Maken

There are a lot more whom i can name and apart from these young leaders,the Congress boasts off some of the most Qualilfied men the nation has to do the top job. The Congress has a lot of positives which are comfortably ignored as everyone were not able to see the results when they were in power, i owe this to the fractured mandate which was given to the party and to the alliance parters they had to share room with. There are quite a few complaints about the Congress having done nothing to the nation inspite of ruling the country for most part post independence, i share the same thought to a lesser extent as the leaders they have had in the past were not as agile/active as they should have been and that does not out weigh the positives in my opinion.

I have always opposed BJP as a party and the reason is the tag that is associated with them of being "Communal". BJP is a real threat to the nation and the rise of BJP and the Communal issues together in the country is not just coincidental, we have seen enough evidence of what will happen to India if Communal forces come to power. What seemed as strong point for congress turns about to be a huge negative for BJP which is "having qualified leaders in their ranks". The BJP has some of the most disgraceful leaders in their party who make some shameful comments which has them running for cover on a daily basis.

I would have asked for Development as the only priority in the coming elections, but looking at what my nation had to go through in the recent past - i ask for Peace first and only when in Peace can i think of life and its betterment and who better to give us that than the Congress with the help of Mr. Manmohan Singh, Mr.Chidambaram amongst many other responsible leaders.
