There is little doubt that the coveted post belongs to Sonia Gandhi????
The question is Why???? The argument that the country chose her as one is questionable......but thats what the Lok Sabha results clearly indicate. Extensive post election analysis will be the headlines of all newspapers and talk of the country till Vajapayeeji retires or the new government is formed. And since I have little knowledge of politics (and little knowledge happens to be dangerous) my viewpoint is certainly limited by what I understand.
Most of the people I had spoken to believed NDA will be back in power...but surprise surprise....its not!!! People intelligently vote for those who would work for their benefit after the elections too.....or unintelligently vote for a name they are in awe of.......or forcefully vote for the stronger candidate......etc etc etc. And what happens on the local scale dictates who rules at the Center. It will be interesting to know how many want Sonia to become the PM?????
I know I dont !!! Why????
The argument that she is of international origin is absolutely baseless. She's been living in this country for long enough....mariied an Indian......and has lived by Indian traditions (atleast for the public)!!!!!
However whats questionable is her ability to be a PM.....her understanding, her maturity, her knwoledge ..........all is at question. India is growing at a fast pace today......and the economic and social viability of this result for the country is at question. Is she well qualified to become the leader of our country??
But then she doesnt make these decisions alone........and all we can do is WAIT AND WATCH!!!!!
