Election Results - SMS rulz

Its election time and so it gets reflected in my blogs to. Coming from state of Uttar Pradesh no surprise I am interested in politics. (Detailed Results at http://www.ndtv.com/elections/)
Good thing about this election is that one party, Congress(with allies), got near to majority. Out of 543 seats 272 are required to prove majority in the newly elected parliament. This means that we are going to have a stable government. There were a lot of surprises in the results. Left parties reduced to around 24 that is about 36 short of last election figures. Mamta Banarji's TMC in West Bengal got around 20 as opposed to last time's 3. A remarkable increase. Much of this can be attributed to Nandigram land issue.
Also after a long time Congress was able to attain considerable no. of seats in the most important state U.P.
Now staage is set for 5 more years of UPA rule. 5 more years of SMS rule in the country. Btw SMS is for Sardar Manmohan Singh.
