The General Elections 2014 has been a great celebration of Indian democracy.  It is the world’s largest democratic elections.

There are many features of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections that have not been highlighted till now. They relate to the BJP’s campaign, the message and the outcome. The significance of the poll result has drowned several aspects that should set the tone for any election dialogue not just in India but abroad too.

The Exit Polls present a gloomy picture for the Congress. Such adversities are not unusual. They are a part of the political cycle. Modesty in victory, graciousness in defeat can demonstrate mature political thinking. Salman Khurshid’s reaction to my comment on the Prime Minister, Dr. Mammohan Singh, was indeed disappointing.

The voting for the 2014 General Elections is over. The result is awaited. We have only the Exit Polls and our own analysis as a base to speculate upon.

The campaign draws to a close Monday in what is world’s largest democratic election. The strength and resilience of Indian democracy has been most visible during this campaign. Despite momentary tensions and criticisms the elections have ended in a manner which could be a proud moment for Indian democracy.

As the General Elections 2014 comes to a close, the logical expectation is that the Congress Party will be reduced to a double digit. The question that arises is – Why has this happened? How will the Congress Party  itself react to its lowest ever figure in history.
