Stunning election in India

[W.G.Ewald]

India may be at a historic turning point, as voters delivered a sweeping victory to the BJP party led by Narendra Modi, as predicted on these pages more than 2 weeks ago. This represents a repudiation of the Congress Party, the heir to the Gandhi-Nehru semi-socialist political machine that has ruled India virtually since independence.

While the American mainstream media has virtually ignored this embrace of free markets and anti-jihadism, the Obama administration will soon be forced to back-peddle and deal with a man it has barred from receiving a visa to visit the United States.

Modi's party has achieved an absolute majority in the Indian parliament, and will have the support of some other parties as well, and thus will be able to govern the world's largest democracy and implement a reform agenda.

I like the first line. This could indeed prove to be a historic turning point. Good to see western media not writing negetively on Modi.

Congress and it's honchos did not know that people hate dynastic rule, corruption and economic decline.

They want jobs but not freebies which Sonia was forcing down people's throat.

Manmohan was a poor spectator in this dynastic mess. He lost all his prestige in last five years which he had built in first five years.
