The 15th Lok Sabha election is over and Congress party led UPA coalition registered a stunning victory by proving all the political pundits wrong.
Let us get an insight of the election:
Total population of India: Around 120 crores (1.2 billion)
Registered voters: Around 70 crore
Voters' turn out: 60%
Some of the key points that went in favour of UPA are:
1) National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme: In the rural area, one person in each family is assured a job for 100 days in a year with the minimum wages as applicable.. if the job is not available then Govt. will compensate for 100 days of wage. It is said that this scheme is the turning point of UPA's success..
2) Loan waiver scheme for marginal farmers: UPA Govt. was able to waive-off the loans of the marginal farmers.. Again, this scheme was a big relief for the poor farmers..
3) Right to Information (Mera paisa mera hisab): Every Indian has the right to know how the Govt. is chanellizing money that were paid through tax by the citizens of India.. Right to Information Act was implemented in 2005 and through this act there is a transparency in the expenditure of money by Govt.. Thanks to Ms. Aruna Roy for her successful campaign for the 'Right to Information' mission..
4) Rahul Gandhi factor: Needless to say, Rahul Gandhi is a source of inspiration for the youths of India.. He was able to mobilize the youth votes..
Also in this election we witnessed that there was no rigging.. the caste politics and the religion based politics was completely denied by the India voters.. So overall, a very successful electoral process and a step forward towards strong democracy..
Jai Ho !!!
