UPA Wins the Match

Update:
The Congress-dominated ruling United Progresive Alliance has won a convincing victory in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections dealing a severe blow to the BJP’s National Democratic Alliance.

The Congress-led UPA has romped home in 262 constituencies compared to the 160 seats the BJP-led NDA took home.

Counting of votes for the recently concluded Lok Sabha (Lower House of India’s Parliament) elections in India will start in a short while.

Indian media reports suggest that the ruling United Progressive Alliance will emerge on top.

But the Indian electorate has a way of confounding the media pundits and pollsters.

Elections have also been held to the state Legislative Assemblies of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Sikkim.

    Dynasty Politics gets worse – Rahul Gandhi, Milind Deora, Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Deepender Hooda, Sandeep Dikshit, Varun Gandhi, M.K.Azhagiri, H.D.Kumaraswamy et al.

    Also, read this piece – 300 crorepati MPs as House gets richer.

    Here’s an excerpt from the TOI story:

    Members of the 15th Lok Sabha may not be too bothered about salary hikes for themselves. Not with as many as 300 crorepatis getting
    the people’s mandate this time รขโ‚ฌโ€ up 95% from 154 in the last Lok Sabha.

    ….The maximum number of crorepatis were found to be from Congress (137), followed by BJP (58), SP (14) and BSP (13). These parties are followed by DMK and Shiv Sena
