State Assembly Elections in India-2011: West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Kerala

Abstract

The governments which worked are getting rewarded by being voted back to power, while those with poor record on developmental work have got the beating from the people. It is a clear indication that people instead of rhetoric, want ‘economic growth’ and ‘good governance.’ They have begun to measure their economic gain when they are in the process of selecting a political party and pressing the button at the polling booth. This is a good sign of further strengthening democratic process in India.
