India decides - Electon'09 Mandate

India has elected Dr. Manmohan Singh again as the PM. He is the first PM to return to office after a very long time.  The popular rural schemes that provide employment and loan waivers have brought in the critical votes need to enable congress win substantial seats. The urban people also believe that Congress is a better alternative to the BJP. The anti-congress vote had split into 3rd front, 4th front and 5th front (smaller parties like Vijaykanth's DMDK in Tamil Nadu, Chiranjeevi's party in AP etc.), giving a good lead for the Congress.

The mandate for the PM and the popular schemes has been translated  as a mandate for Rahul Gandhi himself as future PM. The people are being tuned to accept Rahul as the next PM whenever Manmohan Singh retires.
