Singh is King

The Verdict is out. Congress led UPA overcame the anti incumbency factor and came back into power with a thumping majority. "Singh is King" again. I think this is good. Not because UPA came to power but I wished one of the leading parties either Congress or BJP come into over power with full majority rather than a hung government hindering any policy implementation.

Also, I was amazed how fast the results are out. Counting started at 8:00 AM and by 1:00 PM almost all results are out. Results here means not precincts, but actual vote count with majority. That is counting more than 500 million votes all over India. I think India have the most sophisticated vote counting technology in the world better than USA.

Let us hope this is going to be a fresh start again.
