While Congress led UPA got + 2 % votes compared to last Lok Sabha elections in 2009 elections and 61 more seats , Congress lost 27 seats and 7.4 % votes in Haryana.
Even if you want to discount the inner battles etc , you cannot justify this number.
Lok Sabha elections this year made it clear (to me at least) that Indian population is ready to give a extended run and there is no reason to believe that this could not have happened in Haryana. Agreed that Congress formed the govt. again but with desperate measures as we all know.
Jit -
Politics is much complicated than it seems from outside. Sometimes your govt. did ok works and better than previous comparatively. But still results will not come as expected or deserved.
One example I can put is of Rajasthan. One can himself visit Rajasthan and enquire about Development works took place during Raje Sindhiya's regime.
1) Roads - Fabulous. Even roads reaching remote villages are made double lane. Mega Highway project Hanumangarh to Kishangarh. You will admire her for such a great work in road projects in her state. People say Rani ne banaya tha ye road ... ye bhi Rani ne ... and nothing much before and after ...
2) Thousands of much awaiting vacancies were filled during her times. Gahlot has a very bad habbit of not doing anything for progress and thus he will not need anything to do to get revenue for state treasury.
3) Non-regional approach of Raje. She was not from Bikaner area and please have a visit to this town to see the works carried out. A visitor himself get a feel of the multi-crore package she has provided to this city.
4) Every thing related to treasury was passed in advance during her days. Now-a-days employees are very much frustrated by the delay and quality of material supplied.
5) She stopped mining/crushers at various places like Gopalpur near ladnun etc. But those crushers are again putting tons of dust in air being gahlot in power.
In nutshell her govt. performed much better than her previous or you can say present day govt. But what happened? People also not favoured her ... though like congress get in haryana, her own party rivals let her down. And now ultimatly she is pulled down in her party too. So it needs great diplomatic approach, luck and correct compaign.
Loksabha and Vidhansabha elections are a lot different. Caste politics, intra-rivals, tickets distribution plays big role where defeats takes place by very less margins.
I am big huge fan of leverage and if any one was in a levered position , it was Congress govt. in Haryana and in all Congress led states because you have Congress govt. at the centre as well.
Jit-
So was the case when last time Hooda became CM for first time. BJP at centre and INLD below.
I think it is graceful to accept Congress did not live upto its promises and expectations and that means more work and more "good" work.
Jit- Yes, definately they have many areas to improve upon.
When someone like Deepender Hooda enters political arena and gets so much love and votes from people , it becomes imperative for him/her to think of ways and i mean the innovative ones to make sure people are satisfied. More youth empowerment , participation, early education , infrastructure development and equal development in all areas would have done Congress a world of good i believe. Instead they fell on the same trap of being relaxed and laid back in their attitude.
Jit- Won't you find him better than any other MP? Haven't you seen some of his pulls/pushes he made for his area? As an MP I find him better than his father too. Yes, there is always a need for improvement and he should improve day by day but I am happy to find him as MP of my constituency. I feel he tried and worked for the points you have mentioned but he can do more.
When I see other cabinet ministers in centre, they are MPs for 7,8,9 terms. Why not that happens in Haryana. Why dont we have any leader who should get centre level well recognition. And to reach upto that level Deepender have to do a lot.
When the wind is blowing in your direction , one should give more efforts to cover more distance because the law of averages will make sure the wind direction changes at some point of time.
Jit- Yes, you are right and I feel they failed to encash that and that too in last month of elections. This might have many reasons including their diplomatic mistakes and they/state will pay for them.
Perhaps I do not need to reiterate that I do not have affiliations to parties! I wish and hope that there would be more innovation and development this time around for the comoon good.
Thanks,
Anil
