Election Results 2012 ---- The battle for 5 States

The battle is over.... The five states have got their results....


Uttar Pradesh, Uttarkhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa are the states whose results were released for the day.


With Center of Attraction being U.P because of  many reasons, such as:


The Next Gen intensive and rigorous campaign. Rahul and Akhilesh yadav's campaign.


Maya's over action and least concern of state


Things heated up when Mayawati wanted UP to be as four states. Which was widely opposed by people. Once again people showed their interest in being one and followed the principle of UNITE WE STRONG, DIVIDE WE FALL


Samajwadi Party however said they are against division, which attracted Muslim votes. Muslim votes alone account upto 19% of vote share allover U.P. BSP was all set to lose their minimal share their. 


BSP supremo Mayawati started campaigning prior to a month of 1st phase of elections, where as Akhilesh and Rahul were ramping their way through out state.


The blunder of the day was Rahul Gandhi. Neither his charisma worked nor his actions spoke. Although exit polls suggested Congress getting third position or doubling their vote share when compared to last time. They fell flat. Improvising by upto 40% of their previous share.


BJP was always out of contest and they fared below par again. On the whole, the results are as follows: 


PARTY                  SEATS WON
SP                                224


BSP                                80


CONG+                          37


BJP                                 47


OTHERS                         15


TOTAL                          403


Majority to form government 202


Congress did have shock in Punjab as they thought they would win these elections for only one reason. Punjab always have a swap type of winning in  general elections. But Akali Dal camp won these elections making them to rule state again.


This was a dead shock for Congress as they were expecting a hung or victory but not defeat. Akali team won with handsome majority to form government. The results are as follows:


PARTY                   SEATS WON


SAD                                 68


CONG                              46


PPP                                  00


OTHERS                          03


TOTAL                            117


Majority or Magic figure to form government 57.


This the first time in 46 years that any government winning consecutive second time in Punjab.


Before moving to perfect government forming states, we have Uttarakhand were the situation is a photoshoped one.


Uttarakhand has 70 seats and the magic figure sits at 36. But who has got 36. None. The strong contenders, arch rivals, BJP and Congress both missed out making 36, but both have chances.


In details, Congress have won 32 seats and BJP 31. Earlier, it look like BJP would form government as it has acquired 35 seats as lead. Unfortunately, the lead could not have converted into win as they have lost 4 crucial seats to Congress and others. Now the Others would be very crucial for formation of government and whole state is going to witness the political drama.


PARTY                  SEATS WON


CONGRESS                  32


BJP                               31


OTHERS                       07


TOTAL                         70


Magic Figure 36.


Goa, the state being in issues for illegal things, to be clear, the state politics being in news for wrong reasons. Illegal Mining, partiality in giving tickets for contesting in elections.


The ruling party Congress was involved in all bad news for some time and had to face heat from voters. With barely 40 seats in the state, the Pradesh Committee has given 12 tickets to contest for only 5 families, which was a huge blunder done by committee and was made a weapon by BJP which was well supported with Illegal Mining problem.


PARTY                  SEATS WON


CONGRESS+                    09


BJP+                                 24


OTHERS                            05


UGDP+                              02


Total                                 40


Magic Figure      21


BJP alliance all set to form government here. They have got the magic figure with ease.


Manipur


The state where Congress have a reason to smile, after their dismal performance in all states. They have won back their power again in Manipur. Congress was confident and remained confident as voters felt government is doing good and great. Getting into results.


PARTY                   SEATS WON


CONGRESS                      42


PDF                                  01


NDF                                  04


TMC                                  07 


OTHERS                           06


TOTAL                              60


Majority 31.


Congress has more than enough number here, almost having 50% extra the required number.


This election results are huge set back for Congress and BJP upto certain extent. Rahul Gandhi who was over publicized ended up as loser and also said that he is ready to accept the result and responsibility for UP loss. Even though, local leaders backed up. Its upto Rahul to have himself known about the loss. It has been a tough ask for the future PM candidate to get or register victory in his home town. To the shock of Sonia Gandhi, her constituency Rae Berili, all seats were swept by SP and the situation was also same in case of Amethi, Rahul's constituency.
The SOS of congress, Priyanka Gandhi- Vadra did not prove enough. Her promise to her mother was thrown out by voters. She promised clean sweep of 10 seats in both constituencies by congress, which is irony now.


So, this loss will be a lesson for Congress, 2014 is not very far. Its just another 2 years where everything would be at stakes, if congress do not realize now. Already, Congress is losing its shine in Andhra Pradesh, the most talked state now apart from five. It should hold on in Maharashtra as they have lost local elections in Mumbai. Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and states would also play crucial now.
