The congress public team is Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, Abhishek Singhvi, Veerappa Moily, Manish Tiwari, Jayanti Natarajan and some more.
They all deserve congratulations for coming up as victors. They have the responsibility of steering the policy and programs of the country for five more years.
Rahul Gandhi is credited with reviving congress in UP. It is good that he has participated fully in reviving the party. He is not inherting someone else's good work. He is doing the hard work himself and in the process may be learning many issues related to managing masses - their desires and ways of satisfying them.

Parliament Elections 2009 - Mumbai Thane
1) Mumbai North Sanjay Brijkishorlal Nirupam (Cong) defeated Ram Naik (BJP) by 5779 votes
2) Mumbai North West Ad.Kamat Gurudas Vasant (Cong) defeated Gajanan Kirtikar (SS) by 38415 votes
3) Mumbai North East Sanjay Dina Patil (Cong) defeated Kirit Somaiya (BJP) by 2933 votes
4) Mumbai North Central Dutt Priya Sunil (Cong) defeated Mahesh Ram Jethmalani (BJP) by 174555 votes
5) Mumbai South Central Eknath M. Gaikwad (Cong) defeated Suresh Anant Gambhir (SS) by 75706 votes
6) Mumbai South Deora Milind Murli (Cong) defeated Bala Nandgaonkar (MNS) by 112682 votes
7) Thane Dr.Sanjeev Ganesh Naik (Cong) defeated Chaugule Vijay Laxman (SS) by 49020 votes
8) Kalyan Anand Prakash Paranjape (SS) defeated Davkhare Vasant Shankarrao (NCP) by 24202 votes
Kirit Somaiya and Ram Naik have proved their standing in the political life of the city. Mahesh Jethmalani and Ram Jethmalani always make things difficult for the party and people by taking up cases of many criminal suspects. They combined defending high profile criminal suspects with politics successfully but the unease in the party and people is very clear.
Shiv Sena seems to have been hurt with the division in their leadership ranks.
Dr. Sanjeev Ganesh Naik, got a doctorate (probably honorary) from a Tamil university in USA which has four pages in its web site and says it is a distance education centre of some Indian universities. But he has used it consistently in all his publicity material.
Some professionals have entered fray this time. They may not have got many votes. But it is welcome trend. They should contest once again for assembly this time and this election experience will come in handy for them in doing much more adequate campaigning. We need fresh faces in assemblies and parliament all the time.

2009 Elections - Forecast for BJP's Performance
Anantha's forecast
Things look grim for the BJP. As per my latest calculation, I can't see the lotus bloom in more than 130 seats. That's 8 seats lesser than 2004. Here's the statewise break-up as I see it:
NORTH - 26/126
Uttar Pradesh - 6/80
Uttar Khand - 4/5
Punjab - 3/13
Chandigarh - 1/1
Himachal - 3/4
Haryana - 3/10
Delhi - 4/7
J&K - 2/6
WEST - 72/143
Maharashtra - 18/48
Goa - 1/2
Daman - 1/1
Dadra Nagar - 1/1
Madhya Pradesh - 17/29
Chattisgarh - 7/11
Rajasthan - 9/25
Gujarat - 18/26
SOUTH - 14/131
Kerala - 0/20
Karnataka - 14/28
Tamil Nadu - 0/39
Pondichery - 0/1
Andhra - 0/42
Lakshadweep - 0/1
EAST - 26/143
Bihar - 10/40
Jharkand - 8/14
West Bengal - 0/42
Orissa - 3/21
Assam - 3/14
Arunachal - 1/2
Tripura - 0/2
Mizoram - 0/1
Manipur - 0/2
Meghalaya - 0/2

Could it be like this
NORTH - 36/126
Uttar Pradesh - 16/80
Uttar Khand - 4/5
Punjab - 3/13
Chandigarh - 1/1
Himachal - 3/4
Haryana - 3/10
Delhi - 4/7
J&K - 2/6
WEST - 88/143
Maharashtra - 18/48
Goa - 1/2
Daman - 1/1
Dadra Nagar - 1/1
Madhya Pradesh - 24/29
Chattisgarh - 7/11
Rajasthan - 15/25
Gujarat - 21/26
SOUTH - 26/131
Kerala - 0/20
Karnataka - 22/28
Tamil Nadu - 0/39
Pondichery - 0/1
Andhra - 4/42
Lakshadweep - 0/1
EAST - 32/143
Bihar - 10/40
Jharkand - 8/14
West Bengal - 1/42
Orissa - 5/21
Assam - 5/14
Arunachal - 1/2
Tripura - 0/2
Mizoram - 0/1
Manipur - 0/2
Meghalaya - 1/2
Nagaland - 0/1
Andamans - 1/1
Sikkim - 0/1
TOTAL - 36+88+26+32 =182 out of 543
This figure looks interesting. No doubt Times of India is giving on 145 to BJP but is giving 152 to Congress. But on paper it is not difficult to visualise 175 for BJP.
