Summary/Abstract |
By all means, this was a remarkabel victory of Congress. The party not only increased its seats, but also garnered more support from all corners of the country. It was not just a matter of chance that congress improved its tally in one or two states. However, it would be too early to say that there was a national wave in favour of congress and that this election indicates the begining of an end of coalition governments.

Summary/Abstract |
In the last three years, Bengal has had two elections-the State Assembly Elections in 2006 and the recently concluded elections to the national Parliament. In the former 294 seats were up for grabs; in the latter, 42. This time aroun, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, the poster boy for India's Marxists, seemed to have lost the support of the proletariat and the middle class once and for all.

Summary/Abstract |
There is one thing that stands out clearly in the otherwise diverse messages of the mandate in different states, it is that BJP has been decisively rejected. Attempts to deepen the communal divide and create an atmosphere of violence were not well received. BJP, the party of the Hindu Right, has lost voters across the country with the exception of Himachal Pradesh and Kanrnataka. The second most significant feature of the verdict is that UPA has returned to power, greatly strengthened and less dependent on most of its earlier allies, including the Left.
