Congress Lives !!!

Admidst a huge drama and horse trading Congress has managed to survive and now it has become certain that they'll rule the whole 5 years (ending by mid 2009). A lot of thanks should go to Mulayam Singh Yadav and his party MPs who supported congress. Of course, the support has certainly costed a lot to the Congress. The only reason why Mulayam & his fellow members have supported Congress is just to ensure that he can safe guard himself from the clutches of Mayawati.

There were real scary talks that a third front is being formed wherein the CPI(M), Mayawati & TDP were getting together and guess what's that they had in mind! Make Mayawati the PM of India if Congress fell. OH MY GOD!!!!! What's happening to India? Oh... never mind this question I keep asking this question to myself all day long and still not able to find answer. In a way I'm happy that Congress managed to survive this one; because I think that a great nation like India definitely deserves someone better than Mayawati.

Now coming to my home state affairs... (I can't talk about anything without mixing my home state's politics :-D)

What is that the supremo of DMK going to gain / loose from this. The ultimate gain is that his daughter (Poet?!? :-D) Kanimozhi is going to become a central minister and remain as one for about a year or so. However its not very sure of whether or not he'll be successful in expelling the PMK & Co from the Union Progressive Alliance (UPA). Since Congress had won on a minor difference expelling PMK means that they'll loose 6 MPs who are in support of them and that's not goint to do any good for Congress now. So this could still make Karunanidhi sad.

One thing that Congress has to keep in mind is that BJP is growing stronger and stronger day by day and they've won a considerable number of elections in the last few months and this is DEFINITELY NOT GOOD for Congress. So its high time for Congress to clear up the mess that they've made so far. However its kind of difficult because they've done a lot of damaage and in my opinion they are not going to be able to turn this one over easily.
