The Congress returned to power in the 2002 Assembly Elections, polling 41 per cent votes to win 43 MLAs.
The BJP, which polled 35.38 per cent votes, won only 16 seats to lose Government.
Himachal voters braved the Winter Chill with an almost 70 per cent turn out, on 19th December to probably vote out the Congress Government.
Results will be declared on 23 December 2007. Do not Rule out the possibility of a Hung Assembly with Mayawati becoming Himachal Queen Too!
POLARISED CORRUPTION
Himachal Pradesh has a Tradition of voting out every corrupt Government, every 5 years. Himachal is locked in a death trap with having to choose between the Corrupt Congress and the equally Corrupt BJP.
Every Five Years the Voters throw out the Ruling Party and bring the Main Opposition Party to Power.
Until Now Himachal was polarised between the Congress and the BJP. Each came to power alternately.
MAYAWATI
In the 2007 December Elections the Bahujan Samaj Party is threatening to be a Third force.
Mayawati, buoyed by her splendid victory in Uttar Pradesh is hoping for a impressive performance in Himachal. Mayawati hopes to wean away Dalits from the Congress and the Brahmins from the BJP. Himachal has 29 per cent Dalits and 15 per cent Brahmins.
Mayawati would be delighted if Himachal Results produce a Hung Assembly, with Mayawati’s BSP as the King Maker!
THAKUR BJP VS BRAHMIN BJP
The BJP has Two major Factions.
One led by veteran Brahmin leader Shanta Kumar.
The Other led by Thakur leader Prem Kumar Dhumal.
Dhumal is a confidante of L.K.Advani and Rajnath Singh.
Dhumal manipulated the Bosses and won the race against Shanta Kumar to be the Chief Minister Candidate of the BJP.
The Thakurs are delighted. The Brahmins are angry. Were they angry enough to vote for Mayawati’s BSP Candidates? We will know on Counting Day 23 December 2007.
SONIA FACTION VS VIRBHADRA SINGH FACTION
The Congress has two main factions.
One is led by the Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh. A Thakur. The Brahmins hate him. Sonia too hates him. Sonia prefers a Christian woman called Vidya Stokes.
The Congress Party gave Tickets to Contest to both the Factions.
SONIA COOK SPOILS HIMACHAL BROTH
Sonia is being ridiculed all over Himachal. Sonia denied Party Tickets to veteran Political Leaders. Sonia replaced them with her domestic servants.
Sonia denied tickets to Six-time MLA and state Horticulture Minister Singhi Ram from Rampur and Deputy Speaker Dharampal Thakur (Arki) in Solan district in favour of former SPG commando Nand Lal and Prakash Chand Karad, son of a former cook of the Sonia Family
Kin of Congress leaders have got tickets on nine seats out of the 65 that went to polls in the second phase on December 19.
CONCLUSION
The Mood in Himachal is against the Congress Government.
Therefore Only the committed voters voted for the Congress. Others voted either for the BSP or for the winning BJP.
Sonia is not expecting the Congress to win but hopes that She will not lose Himachal horribly.
L.K.Advani is confident of a BJP Victory on the promise of providing Honest Governance. But BJP’s Dhumal as Chief Minister was as corrupt as Congress’s VirBhadhra Singh!
Mayawati will be delighted if the Results produce a Hung Assembly.
politicsparty.com will analyse the Himachal Results on 23rd December.
