Congress takes a beating in State elections across India

The news is on expected lines. Congress has taken a beating in many states where results of state elections was declared today. Except for Manipur and comparatively good performance in Uttarakhand  Congress  has lost face.

Statistics and history were both pro- Congress in Punjab and Uttarakhand. But they simply could not capitalize on it. In Punjab's case  this is the first time that an incumbent government has  won the election. In Uttarakhand BJP government was said to be so corrupt still congress could not capitalise on the same. Goa goverment paid dearly for the corruption in mining. BJP had put forth a person with very clean image.Also, the Congress family plan in all states  Punjab, Goa, U. P. were all rejected.Congress communal card also did not have its effect.

But one point that BJP has to take note is that, its not BJP's victory that has been staged today, It has been Congress's loss. Even Rahul Gandhi could not change that.  BJP has not been able to justify its claim to clean image. Akhilesh has spoken to people's heart in UP. Congress and BJP really need to take some lessons from this. SP and BJP's Goa unit needs to learn that if they do not back they clean words by clean deeds their future is also going be the same for them too.

Congratz to all winners. Better luck next time to others.
