Kudos to the Election commission. Thank you.
Now that the elections are over and we have a definite verdict with the UPA continuing it’s rule for another five years, it is time to give an applause to the Election Commission.
This herculean effort that lasted a month and enfranchised a fifth of humanity will definitely go down in Indian history as one of our successful endeavors. It was also one of the least violent election in our nation’s history, clearly underlining the maturity of our election process if not our democratic process.
This election witnessed all parts of our nation participating enthusiastically. People defied boycott calls made by separatists in Kashmir and Maoists/Naxals in Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand. People stood in extremely hot conditions to execute their right.
Some of us will cheer the results, while some of us will be disappointed at the failure of our preferred candidates or parties. But few will doubt that the Election Commission played their role very well. Please join me in congratulating the dedicated staff who made this election a success - Thank you, you made us proud !
