Assembly elections

Finally the DD day has arrived and the results are out. Jayalalitha has triumphed in Tamil Nadu.  There were expectations that she would win.  But the margin of victory was immense.  The people of Tamil nadu have shown the door for the people who have practised the politics of nepotism, corruption, misgovernance.  The people of Tamil Nadu have dispelled the perception of the rulers that money could buy votes. It was neck and neck in Kerala between UDF and LDF.  In Pondicherry N Rangaswamy who started his party just two months before the elections have won handsomely. In Assam the incumbent Chief Minister Tarun Gogai has scored a hattrick.  In West Bengal Mamta Banerjee has scored a thumping victory on the expected lines putting an end to the Left rule of 34 years.  For the UPA Govt. it is 50-50. Win in Three states and loss in two states. Let us see how the politics in Delhi is afftected by the results.

OSAMA BIN LADEN

The man who shook the Great USA from its pride through the attack on twin towers on Sep.11,2001 has at last been shot dead by the US Navy Seals at his hideout at Abbottabad 50 Kms from Islamabad in Pakistan after nearly 10 years of search. This attack by the US had called the bluff of Pakistan's leadership who had constantly been saying that Osama Bin Laden was not in Pakistan.  This attack has sent shivers in the spine to another dreaded terrorist Dawood who has now shifted his son's wedding from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia.  Eventhough Osama is dead Al Queda remains and we can expect some vengeful acts from the outfit.  Osama's death has sent Obama's dwindlling ratings soaring and he can now expect a walk over in the next elections. Now that Pakistan's terrorist links have been exposed India can now put pressure on Pakistan through US and get the other terrorists like Dawood and the Chiefs of Laskar e Toiba, Jaish e Mohammad and bring peace to the beautiful state J&
