EDITOR'S COLUMN

Friends

We are well into the monsoon season. It has already been around, doing hide and seek. Meteriological Deptt. reckons, North West monsoon to hit the Kerala coast early June as usual. Hope it keeps its date with the earth. Despite the forecast for deficient rainfall, the food production is likely to be normal, report monsoon watchers.
Month that went by witnessed an upheaveral of another kind. Some even called it a tsunami. 2014, election has come and gone and has left Congress, SP, BSP, NCP devastated. While the Congress has been reduced to double digit, SP and NCP were reduced to single digit of 5 seats each, and BSP could manage only zero. Congress managed only 44, as against over 200 seats in the last Loksabha. This is perhaps the lowest for Congress in all these past 16 elections to the Loksabha. Indian electorates have spoken, loud and clear.
Indeed, in one sweep, NAMO wave has swallowed all of them to register a highest tally for his party, the BJP. From 106 to 284 is a huge leap of over 160%. In the event, BJP became the first party in 25 years to get a single party majority mandate.
While of course, supporters of BJP shall celebrate their stunning victory, it is also expected to cause little unease with its alleged record of divisiveness. But then victor can be, in fact can afford to be, gracious in victory. Mr. Modi being a strong person both physically and mentally, has been trying to be accommodative in his utterances before and even after the victory. That is a good sign. Hope, he sustains the hope that he has generated during the past months. In Focus, we have tried to talk of the new government, post election, and the ongoing unfinished task of 8 Millennium Development Goals, to be completed within the next 15 months, upto Sept. 2015. Hope Modi & his new government shall take the call. We, at I&C, wishes the new leader and his team, a smooth and a result oriented performance to help those, who need his help the most. Rest, as usual. Do comeback with your take.
