2014 Elections: What The Results Offer?
The country is aiming to progress under the new government that came victorious in the general elections 2014. The results, however, have different indications from different angles.
New Delhi: The BJP/NDA with NaMo as its Prime Minster is going to form the government at the centre. The voters gave clear mandate and clearer majority to the new incumbent. Voters supported the new government with 333 MP seats out of total 543 votes. The people have high expectations from the new government that promised one point agenda of development.
The results offer some interesting conclusions as follows:
1) People gave clear mandate to the new government with absolute majority so that they can concentrate on their functioning. NDA is blessed with 333 seats (against 543 total seats in Lok Sabha).
2) Telangana voters gave clear majority to TRS (63 MLA’s out of total 119 MLA seats). TRS is expected to continue with fulfilling its poll promises and all round development of the new state of the country.
3) Seemandhra voters supported Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP with 102 seats (adding another 4 MLAs from BJP as part of alliance). Naidu is expected to sow seeds of development for the state starting from scratch. The state is starting its life with deficit budget and large commitments by Naidu need huge funds, in addition to development activities including construction of capital for the state.
4) Regional parties got different response in different states. While the TDP in Seemandhra, TRS in Telengana have been able to form government in their states on their own, Tamilnadu’s Jayalalithaa is left with 37 seats (out of total 39 MP seats.) Similarly Mamata Banerjee from West Bengal is having 34 MPs (out of total 42 MP seats) under her party ticket. Naveen Patnaik of BJD has been able to win 18 MPs (out of total 21 MPs in Orisssa). These regional players are considered as performers and hence this performance.
5) Mulayam Singh from SP has 5 MP seats whereas another regional player BSP has NIL MP’s under the party ticket. These regional players are considered as opportunists (they extend external support to government at the centre and at the same time criticize the government, they respect the central government due to corruption cases against them) and hence this minimal performance.
6) Aam Aadmi Party (of Arvind Kejriwal) has been restricted to just 4 seats. Point to note at this moment is this success is coming to the party from Punjab (but not from Delhi the party’s home town). Arvind Kejriwal himself failed to win in Varanasi against Modi in this election.
