Congress keeping its word that it will form the next Government, has come very much true. At the stroke of 8 am and 11 am, Congress was leading on about 200+ seats and BJP came out without hope accepting the defeat.
All the senior leader from BJP, Left, Third and fourth front have been shocked with the lead the Congress has taken and now it race to form the Government.
The charisma of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have worked a lot in this election. They sticked to their manifesto and worked as team and came out with astounding results. Whereas BJP, was always looking into unwanted issue, and made a way to go down in this election. Third Front which was in assumption that it will sweep the election and will ask Congress to support in the formation of Government has been washed out completely from the states like West Bengal and Kerala. Where they hold a very key position in all these years.
Mamata Banerjee with Congress has completely sweeped the West Bengal and has given hope to Congress that will form the Government. BJD has sweeped the Orissa general election and will not support any Government in Centre. Well it will be happy to be seated in the opposition of the Government formation party.
The biggest surprise which hit Congress and BJP was Rajasthan and Delhi, where BJP thought it will gain seats and all the seats in Delhi are of Congress and 50% of Rajasthan seats are of Congress. BJP has made it ways in certain states where it had allies and also had it own rule. BJP has accepted the defeat and is going to hold a meeting in order to see where they went wrong, and why the results are not to their expectations.
Andhra Pradesh has also given Congress a sigh relief where it has its own rule till now and will continue. As Congress has made it way into the assembly election also, however, there was good fight between the TDP and Congress. PRP play spoil sport which divide the vote bank of both Congress and TDP. TRS has not gain the number of seats which it had in the year 2004 and same with TDP.
Congress is well placed to form the Government on its own without any support required from Left or Third front. Congress has emerged a single largest party with its allies, TMC, SP and JMM which will help them to form the Government. However, some of the key minister of Congress have lost their seats from their respective Constituency P. Chidambaram - ShivGanga and many others.
Current standing where we have the results declared for 352/543.
