The Winner

Well, since all the political commentators have commented on the ascent of Ms Mayawati to the CM post in UP I think it’s high time for me to utter some words. I am not going to talk what all the pundits have said already.

I believe that though social engineering, rainbow coalition, organization etc. do contributed to her unprecedented success but the biggest reason is Election Commission (EC), which ensured fair elections in UP for first time in recorded human history. It was only due to iron hand of EC that poor section of voters was able to exercise its right freely. Earlier upper caste baddies ensured that the votes of poor and lower castes went to the candidates of their choice. This time voters voted by free will. Also, since the voter turn out was low and upper class and middle classes (which primarily consist upper castes) hardly vote so the most of the voters were from lower strata of Indian society.

So the real winners in these elections were EC and Indian democracy.
